Article  appearing  in  The  Crank,  May,  1891.     The  Crank  is  a  monthly  journal  issued  by  the  Cornell  University. 

STANDARDIZING  A  RIEHLE  100,000  Lbs.  U.  S.  STANDARD 

TESTING   MACHINE. 

Among  the  testing  machines  of  various  sizes  and  kinds  employed  in  the  Mechanical  Laboratory  of  Sibley  College 
are  two  or  three  Riehle  machines,  including  one  of  100,000  and  one  of  200,000  Ibs.  capacity.  The  standardization 
of  machines  of  such  magnitude  is  a  matter  of  such  serious  difficulty  that  it  is  rarely  attempted  by  direct  comparison  with 
standard  weights  (U.  S.).  The  usual  process  with  the  larger  machines  is  first  to  standardize  up  to  some  convenient 
weight,  then,  loading  the  machine  by  a  pull  on  a  test-piece  of  large  size  up  to  the  point  thus  reached,  add  weights  of 
standard  or  standardized  magnitude  up  to  some  convenient  higher  figure,  next  removing  as  before,  and  straining  up  to  the 
new  limit  by  a  pull  on  the  test-piece,  then  once  more  adding  weights,  until  finally  the  limit  of  the  proposed  test  is 
reached.  Direct  loading  up  to  50  or  100  tons  is,  perhaps,  unknown.  It  has,  however,  been  done  here,  and  our  illustration 
is  made  from  a  photograph  taken  while  the  machine  was  thus  loaded  to  its  maximum  rated  figure. 

This  work  was  undertaken  by  Messrs.  Lombard  and  Van  Everen  during  the  earlier  part  of  the  year,  in  the  time 


m 


appropriated  to  the  standardization  of  the  various  apparatus  of  the  laboratory,  and  occupied  a  full  day  and  a  night  of 
continuous  labor.  The  photograph  exhibits  the  method  of  procedure.  (The  figures  in  the  picture  are  not  likenesses.) 
The  machine  was  prepared  for  the  loads  by  laying  across  its  lower  platform  a  heavy  beam,  1 2  inches  square  and  about  10 
feet  long,  in  such  a  manner  that  platforms  for  carrying  the  enormous  mass  of  iron  to  be  used  could  be  suspended  from  its 
ends,  and  just  clear  of  the  floor,  so  that  a  break-down  should  not  cause  disaster.  A  carefully-standardized  platform-scale 
of  moderate  size  was  placed  beside  the  machine,  and  the  loads  of  pig-iron,  supplied  by  the  foundry-stockyard,  were, 
increment  by  increment,  compared  with  the  U.  S.  standard  weights,  of  which  the  laboratory  possesses  some  thousands  of 
pounds,  and  then  were  added  to  the  load  on  the  machine.  The  comparison  of  weight  indicated  by  the  scale-beam  of  the 
testing  machine  with  the  weights  added  were  made  at  first,  at  short  intervals,  and  later  by  increments  of  500  pounds. 
The  maximum  being  reached,  the  same  method  was  adopted  as  the  load  was  removed,  and  the  ascending  was  compared 
with  the  descending  scale.  The  log  thus  obtained  was  then  plotted,  and  the  curves  so  produced  were  studied  to  determine 
the  magnitude  and  the  law  of  variation  of  errors. 

During  the  process  of  loading,  the  floor,  a  concrete  and  gravel  foundation,  gave  way  under  the  tremendous  pressure 
at  the  weighted  end  of  the  machine,  and  this  interfered  slightly  with  operations  at  that  point.  This  effect  was  eliminated, 
however,  and  the  results  were  very  satisfactory.  The  machine  was  found  to  be  correct  to  within  a  small  fraction  of  one 
per  cent,  of  its  readings,  and  the  error  practically  constant.  So  far  as  irregular,  it  was,  probably,  mainly  due  to  slight 
variations  in  the  divisions  in  the  scale-beam.  The  college  is  very  fortunate  in  the  possession  of  such  accurate  machines, 
and  this  particular  machine  is  as  handsome  and  neatly  made  as  it  is  accurate.

DESCRIPTION. 

This  illustration  is  of  a  Riehl6  U.  S.  Standard  Screw-Power  Testing  Machine  of  300,000  Ibs.  capacity.  We 
believe  no  other  testing  machine  is  furnished  with  as  wide  a  range  of  testing  facilities  for  a  great  variety  of  specimens,  as 
this  machine  will  pull  bars  6  ft.  in  length,  with  an  elongation  of  3  ft.  ;  will  crush  columns  6  ft.  in  height,  and  bend 
timbers  or  other  transverse  specimens  18  ft,  long.  The  chief  new  feature  about  the  present  machine  is  the  use  of  double 
adjustable  cross-heads,  both  moved  by  power,  which  enables  the  operator  to  work  conveniently  on  any  length  of  speci- 
mens from  6  in.  to  6  ft.,  as  each  head  can  be  brought  to  the  easiest  spot  for  handling.  This  machine  is  very  easily  con- 
trolled by  levers,  has  eight  different  speeds,  and  can  be  reversed  at  will.  The  gears  are  all  cut  and  the  machine  runs 
very  smoothly  and  quietly. 

The  length  of  specimens  for  Tension  and  Compression  strains  can  be  increased  to  10  ft.  at  an  extra  cost. 

Much  of  the  material  is  of  cast  steel  and  steel  castings;  bronze  nuts  are  used,  and  the  best  workmanship  and  finish 
employed  throughout. 

A  new  quick  lever  device  for  throwing  in  the  friction  driving  gear  has  been  introduced,  and  is  much  liked. 

The  beam  has  the  Richie1  Patented  Traveling  Vernier  Poise,  and  the  calculations  have  been  so  made  that  the 
counterweight  of  the  beam  has  been  used  as  a  standard  weight  also,  and  is  raised  in  the  same  manner  as  the  weights  of  the 
Emery  Machine.  This  feature  is  much  appreciated.  In  this  machine  is  used  a  Riehl6  Patented  High  Faced  Wedge 
Grip,  by  the  use  of  which  it  is  claimed  that  flat  specimens  of  materials  such  as  boiler-plate,  etc.,  can  be  tested  in  a  direct 
line  to  the  centre  of  specimen  and  without  the  possible  tendency  to  tear  from  the  edge. 

The  High  Faced  Wedges  engage  themselves  first  through  the  axial  line  of  specimen  and  from  that  line  outward. 

Altogether,  this  machine  is  deemed  a  very  successful  appliance,  and  we  are  quite  sure  that  it  will  become 
universally  adopted  where  such  an  appliance  is  needed. 

A  machine  of  this  type,  of  200,000  Ibs.  capacity,  was  built  for  the  School  of  Practical  Science,  Toronto,  Canada. 
A  Testing  Machine,  of  300,000  Ibs.  capacity,  is  now  being  built  for  the  Riehld  Testing  Laboratory,  at  the  works  of  Riehle 
Bros.  Testing  Machine  Co.,  Ninth,  above  Master  Street,  Philadelphia.

Special  appliances  noted  in  connection  with  Plate  Nos.  178,  154,  and  34  furnished  with  this  Machine,  if  ordered 
Refer  to  them  by  Telegraph  code. 

This  new  and  handsome  type  of  Machine  represents  all  our  latest  improvements  in  the  line  of  convenient,  rapidly- 
adjusted,  and  automatic  Testing  Machines.  The  open  heads  admit  of  quick  insertion  of  specimens.  The  counterbalanced 
levers  hold  and  adjust  the  grips  in  the  most  convenient  manner. 

The  Levers  are  a  handy  method  of  controlling  and  reversing  direction  of  the  tool-holders,  and  for  elastic  limit 
tests  the  Friction  Wheels  are  most  valuable. 

The  Electric  Automatic  Beam  is  a  new  and  handsome  type,  by  which  the  thousand  pounds  are  read  on  the  main 
beam,  and  the  hundred  down  to  ten  pounds  on  a  dial  carried  on  the  poise  itself,  and  revolved  by  means  of  cut  gears  and 
rack  inserted  on  the  top  of  main  beam.  This  poise  is  moved  by  electricity,  and  will  advance  as  the  beam  arises  the 
latter  making  the  electric  circuit,  which  acts  through  a  magnet  to  draw  in  a  friction  clutch,  that  thus  drives  the  pulley 
communicating  its  motion  to  the  beam  hand-wheel.  There  is  also,  in  connection  with  this  driving  apparatus  two  discs 
the  periphery  of  one  driving  against  the  face  of  the  other  by  spring  pressure.  The  motion  of  one  of  these  discs  is 
controlled  by  a  hand-wheel  and  screw  so  as  to  pass  across  the  face  of  the  other.  The  mechanic  will  thus  see  that  we 
have  at  once  a  variable  speed  as  the  driven  gear  approaches  the  centre  of  the  driver,  and  that  when  it  passes  the  centre 
we  have  the  motion  reversed,  all  of  which  is  used  conveniently  in  automatic  weighing.  In  connection  with  the  beam 
there  is  also  a  sliding  gib  traveling  along  the  bottom  of  the  beam,  and  secured  to  the  hanger  of  the  poise.  This  prevents 
jumping  of  the  poise  out  of  gear  from  recoil. 

The  most  desirable  method  of  operating  the  Machine  seems  to  be  just  as  performed  by  this  remarkable  device  as 
follows :  When  the  specimen  is  set  and  the  pressure  started,  the  discs  are  placed  on  the  proper  side  of  the  centre  and  at 
the  speed  distance,  known  by  practice  to  be  correct,  and  the  beam  then  weighs  automatically  to  the  point  of  rupture  and 
there  stops.  The  disc  movement  is  now  reversed  and  a  separate  switch  lever  is  thrown  in  circuit,  which  runs  the  poise 
back  until  a  projection  on  this  poise  strikes  the  switch  lever  and  breaks  the  circuit.  This  can  be  at  zero  or  by  sliding 
the  switch  along  a  bar  under  the  beam,  the  poise  can  be  stopped  at  any  point  the  operator  desires.  He  can  operate 
this  beam  and  poise  by  hand  when  preferred.  This  Testing  Machine,  as  in  fact  all  of  our  larger  ones,  can  be  arranged

RIEHLE-BEIMJAMIN  EXTENSOMETER. 

DESCRIPTION. 

This  instrument  consists  of  two  aluminum  castings  which  are  clamped  at  their  lower  ends  by  hardened  steel  points  to 
the  test-piece.  At  their  upper  ends  are  two  levers,  one  of  the  first  power  and  one  of  the  third  power,  each  with  a  bear- 
ing point  of  hardened  steel  directly  above  and  eight  inches  from  the  lower  clamping  point  on  that  side. 

A  trammel  is  used  for  prick-punching  the  specimen  so  that  when  the  four  points  of  the  extensometer  are  placed  in  the 
punch- marks  and  clamped  up  the  indicator  points  to  zero. 

The  two  levers  above  mentioned  are  about  twelve  inches  in  length  and  extend  horizontally  from  the  clamping  device. 
Jne  lever  carries  a  scale  the  other  a  pointer,  and  owing  to  the  different  leverage  as  the  specimen  elongates,  the  scale 
moves  downward  while  the  pointer  moves  upward,  thus  doubling  the  leverage  as  applied  to  the  reading. 

The  instrument  reads  readily  to  thousandths  or  ten-thousandths. 

The  outfit  consists  of  the  instrument  proper,  the  trammel  bar,  and  points  for  prick-punching,  and  a  distance  collar  for 
proving  the  accuracy  and  adjustment  of  the  extensometer. 

Instruments  are  made  for  other  sizes  than  eight  inches,  viz.— four  inches  and  six  inches.

The  RIEHLE-CROWN  TESTING  MACHINE  is  constructed  in  precisely  the  same  manner  as  Plate  No.  34  or  No.  236,  imme- 
diately preceding,  excepting  as  to  the  beam  arrangement.  On  this  Machine  is  used  the  Riehle-Reescr  Electric  Automatic 
Screw  Beam.  This  is  a  very  complete  automatic  weighing  apparatus,  which,  while  it  follows  the  strain,  either  increasing  or 
decreasing,  will  leave  a  register  of  the  maxium  load  placed  on  the  test  specimen.  The  patents  of  this  beam  cover  the 
principle  of  a  fixed  screw  beam  with  a  revolving  nut  or  poise  ;  the  circumference  of  this  poise  is  graduated  by  ten  pounds 
up  to  1,000  Ibs.,  for  each  revolution  corresponding  to  the  pitch  of  the  screw.  The  1,000  pound  marks  are  read  from 
an  Indicator  on  the  side  beam,  and  the  hundreds  on  the  poise  adjacent.  The  poise  runs  forward  or  back  by  means  of 
two  sets  of  miters  and  friction  clutches,  which  being  on  opposite  sides  of  the  first  driver  take  opposite  directions. 

These  clutches  are  operated  by  means  of  a  magnet  and  battery,  the  wires  of  which  are  connected  to  a  counter- 
balancing lever  beam,  which  by  its  vibration  between  the  poles  by  the  rise  and  fall  of  the  pressure,  controls  the 
motion  of  the  poise  to  suit.  The  extreme  travel  of  the  poise  is  indicated  by  a  very  light  traveler  carried  forward  by  the 
poise  itself,  and  left  at  the  furthest  point,  while  the  poise  registers  its  revolution  by  a  pointer  which  is  carried  in  the 
forward  direction,  but  is  not  carried  backward  because  the  joint  is  allowed  to  trip  and  let  it  pass.  It  is  very  accurate 
and  a  fine  piece  of  workmanship.  This  Testing  Machine,  as  in  fact  all  of  our  larger  ones,  can  be  arranged  with  the

RIEHLE-CARPENTER  EXTENSOMETER. 

DESCRIPTION. 

This  style  of  Extensometer  was  designed  by  Professor  Carpenter  of  Cornell  University.  It  is  furnished  with  self- 
centering  V  guides  in  connection  with  the  adjusting  points,  and  these  points  also  have  spring  pressure  back  of  them  to 
take  up  any  reduction  of  specimen. 

It  has  gauge  clamps  to  adjust  the  length  which  can  be  swung  loose  after  the  apparatus  is  set.  A  pair  of  Brown  & 
Sharpe  Micrometer  Calipers,  or  something  of  the  same  nature  is  mounted,  one  on  each  side,  to  take  readings  of 
extension  to  one  ten-thousandth  of  an  inch,  and  a  series  of  guide  pulleys  have  been  arranged  with  a  tension  cord  to 
give  the  ordinates  representing  stretch  when  a  card  diagram  is  being  taken.  Parts  of  this  apparatus  have  been  adopted 
by  us  in  the  card  diagram  attachment  called  the  "  Nonpareil  "  on  another  page  of  this  catalogue.

WITH    VERNIER    POISE. 


Patented  August  l6th,  1887. 

Plate  No.  262. 


DESCRIPTION. 

Our  Vernier  Poise  consists  of  a  traveling  weight  operated  by  a  hand-wheel  whose  axis  corresponds  very  nearly 
with  the  point  of  pivot,  or  point  of  no  vibration  of  the  beam.  When  the  wheel  is  turned  it  does  not  therefore  disturb 
the  equilibrium  of  the  beam.  The  hand-wheel  shaft  carries  a  small  pulley  which  propels  the  poise  by  mean  of  a  cord. 
There  is  a  tightener  and  pulley  at  the  other  end  for  adjustment.  The  beam  is  graduated  in  100  Ib.  marks  and  the  poise 
arranged  as  a  Vernier  to  read  to  10  Ibs,  in  the  usual  way. 


\ 


OPERATION  AND  ADVANTAGES. 


This  beam  arrangement  was  designed  to  enable  the  operator  to  weigh  continuously  and  easily  while  using  the  force 
pump  at  the  same  time.  It  makes  it  possible  and  convenient  for  a  single  person  to  conduct  a  test  and  keep  the  beam 
and  the  pressure  in  equilibrium,  and  avoids  the  necessity  of  manipulating  the  main  and  jockey  poises  at  every  1,000 
pounds  of  pressure.  It  also  furnishes  a  means  of  following  rapid  increments  of  pressure,  otherwise  difficult  to  secure.

DESCRIPTION  AND  OPERATION. 

This  style  of  card  was  designed  with  a  view  to  supplying  those  test  engineers  who  are  averse  to  using  a  cylinder  or 
drum,  and  who  prefer  a  flat  card,  where  all  of  the  diagram  is  exposed  at  once. 

It  consists  of  a  plate  of  sheet  brass  mounted  on  rollers,  so  as  to  travel  easily,  and  actuated  in  a  forward  and  backward 
movement  by  an  endless  chain,  with  a  tightening  device,  and  driven  from  the  same  gear  as  those  operated  by  the  hand- 
wheel  in  propelling  the  poise.  By  altering  the  ratio  of  these  gears,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  proportion  between  the 
relative  travel  of  the  poise  and  card  plate  can  be  adjusted.  To  secure  the  vertical  movement  corresponding  in  this  case 
to  the  amount  of  stretch,  an  extensometer  has  been  arranged  with  telescopic  slides  which  hold  the  instrument  in  line 
during  extension  of  the  specimen.  There  are  two  of  these  slides,  one  on  each  side  of  specimen,  and  corresponding  to 
the  pointed  adjusting  screws.  A  third  joint  is  arranged  with  a  loose  sliding  plunger  capable  of  following  up  the  stretch 
of  the  specimen,  and  communicating  its  movement  to  a  fine  wire,  which  leads  to  a  small  drum,  around  which  it  is  wrapped 
once  or  twice,  and  tension  applied  by  means  of  a  small  weight.  The  drum  can  be  made  in  steps  so  that  another  wire 
may  lead  off  from  a  size  five  or  ten  times  the  size  of  the  smaller,  thus  magnifying  the  stretch  proportionally. 

The  wire  then  leads  over  a  guide  pulley  to  the  pencil  bar,  which  descends  in  a  vertical  line  as  the  yielding  of  the 
specimen  allows  the  plunger  to  fall.  There  is  a  screw  adjustment  to  bring  the  plunger  and  its  pencil  to  zero,  and  the 
combination  of  the  two  movements  as  described  forms  a  diagram  curve  on  the  paper  sheet  secured  to  the  brass  plate  in 
the  usual  manner,

Gray.      Price,     . $ 


DESCRIPTION  AND  OPERATION. 


This  instrument  is  intended  for  making  a  complete  automatic  strain  diagram,  and  has  the  peculiar  feature  of  giving 
two  curves — one  of  the  full  test;  the  other  of  the  test  within  the  elastic  limit,  and  very  much  enlarged.  As  shown  in  the 
construction,  the  clamping  device  multiplies  the  stretch  of  the  piece  twice  by  the  time  it  comes  to  the  connecting  rod, 
and  at  the  same  time  eliminates  any  error  from  the  stretch  of  the  test  bar  between  the  clamps  and  where  it  is  fastened  in 
the  heads.  These  clamps  are  of  a  new  and  improved  pattern,  and  are  adjustable  to  tension  pieces  of  any  length  and 
thickness,  or  to  compression  test  pieces,  and  are  provided,  at  the  attachment  to  the  piece,  with  a  device  for  following  up 
any  diminution  in  the  dimensions  of  the  test  piece  caused  by  the  stress. 

The  first  end  of  the  upper  clamp-bar  hangs  in  a  stirrup  from  the  head  of  the  machine,  thus  forming  a  fixed  point ; 
and  the  lower  clamp  is  fixed  at  its  final  end  to  the  connecting  rod  by  pendant  piece  of  the  same  length  as  the  connection 
between  the  upper  and  lower  clamp,  thus  securing  arcs  of  the  same  radius.  The  connecting  rod  is  surmounted  by  a  post 
with  an  adjusting  screw  in  its  top,  so  that  the  bearings  of  this  post  can  be  brought  up  under  the  knife  edges  of  the  first 
lever  of  the  sensitive  system  helping  to  counter-poise  this  set  by  the  thrust  from  beneath.  By  means  of  the  removable 
link,  and  by  having  pivots  at  different  points  in  the  first  two  levers  of  this  system,  the  curve  within  the  elastic  limit  can 
be  taken  at  any  one  of  the  five  multiplications  from  100  to  500. 

By  means  of  the  large  lever  the  full  curve  of  the  test  is  plotted,  and  by  using  the  three  fulcrum  points,  as  shown  in 
the  illustration,  this  curve  gives  the  elongation  at  any  one  of  three  multiplications.  By  this  means,  we  adapt  our  curve 
to  the  nature  of  material  under  strain. 

By  means  of  the  adjustment  at  the  top  of  the  connecting  rod,  we  can  make  use  of  the  high  multiplications  by 
bringing  the  pencil  back  to  the  zero  line  each  time  it  approaches  the  top  of  the  card,  thus  enabling  us  to  extend  the 
diagram  any  length  without  passing  off  the  card.  The  vertical  travel  of  the  pencil  represents  deformation  in  the  test 
piece,  while  the  rotation  of  the  drum  means  weight.  By  the  use  of  the  spring  on  the  end  of  the  beam  the  machine 
can  be  adjusted  to  different  degrees  of  sensitiveness — that  is,  giving  the  spring  one-tenth  the  tension,  the  sensitiveness  of 
the  card  increases  ten  times. 

By  the  use  of  the  poise  a  convenient  method  of  proving  the  accuracy  is  always  available,  so  that  the  machine  can  be 
quickly  set  to  give  the  greatest  scope  in  the  test  curve.  The  method  of  proving  the  spring  is  to  use  a  piece  of  steel  whose 
elastic  limit  exceeds  the  load  applied  to  it,  and  this  load  is  accurately  weighed  by  means  of  the  poise.  The  poise  is 
then  moved  back  to  zero,  and  the  spring  attached,  and  the  revolution  of  the  drum  accurately  noted. 

Standard  profile  paper  is  used  on  the  drum,  and  the  tapes  put  on  the  proper  cone  of  the  drum  so  that  the  weight  can 
be  accurately  determined  at  any  point  of  the  test.

DESCRIPTION    AND    OPERATION. 

This  is  a  very  simple  apparatus  for  making  a  diagram  of  the  test  curve,  and  consists  of  a  cylinder  mounted 
on  a  bracket  and  capable  of  being  revolved  easily  by  a  tape  or  wire  attached  to  the  pulley  which  is  a  part  of  the 
bottom  of  this  cylinder.  The  wire  connects  with  a  telescopic  Extensometer  which  is  fastened  to  the  specimen 
by  convenient  screws,  one  of  which,  in  each  pair,  has  a  spring  to  follow  up  reduction  of  area  in  specimen.  The 
elongation  of  the  specimen  takes  up  the  connecting  wire  at  each  side,  thus  doubling  the  actual  stretch,  and  any 
further  multiplication  can  be  given  by  means  of  an  intermediate  drum  with  different  sizes  of  steps  for  the  purpose. 
This  elongation  of  the  specimen  causes  the  drum  to  revolve  on  its  axis,  while  the  vertical  ordinates,  of  pressure, 
are  obtained  by  means  of  a  rack  and  gears  operated  from  the  hand-wheel,  which  causes  the  poise  to  travel,  and  any 
convenient  reduction  of  this  travel  can  be  made  to  suit  the  nature  of  the  specimen  or  pleasure  of  the  observer.

Tel f graph. 
Paine.     Price 


DESCRIPTION. 

This  instrument  was  invented  by  Colonel  W.  H.  Paine,  for  use  on  the  Brooklyn  Bridge.  It  can  be  made  to  read 
from  thousandths  up  to  ten-thousandths  of  an  inch  (and  finer  if  necessary)  by  means  of  a  vernier. 

The  ordinary  form  reads  to  one-thousandth  of  an  inch,  on  right-angle  arm,  and  to  ten-thousandths  of  an  inch  by 
a  vernier. 

It  is  wholly  mechanical  in  operation  and  is  for  either  tension  or  compression. 

This  instrument  operates  on  the  bell-crank  lever  principle,  and  magnifies  the  stretch  in  proportion  to  the  arms  of 
lever  employed.  It  is  very  light  and  is  generally  held  to  the  specimen  by  the  pressure  of  a  coiled  spring  fork.  It  is 
secured  in  this  way  to  the  centre-punch  marks  in  the  specimen,  and  the  slides  adjusted  to  zero,  then  any  extension  moves 
the  long  arm  of  the  lever  and  pushes  the  little  scale  along  the  stationary  one  and  reading  by  a  vernier  gives  quite  accurate 
and  fine  measurements. 

Arrangements  have  been  made  with  the  Executor  of  the  estate  of  W.  H.  Paine,  whereby  the  "  Paine  Exten- 
someter  "  can  be  only  made  by  the  Riehle  Bros.  Testing  Machine  Co. 

NOTICE.— This  is  the  instrument  that  saved  the  Niagara  Suspension  Bridge  from  being  condemned.  When  attached 
to  any  large  cables  it  was  found  to  be  so  delicate  that  every  car,  as  it  was  run  on,  indicated  its  weight  by  the  stretch  of 
the  instrument  in  loads  as  small  as  one  ton.

DESCRIPTION. 

This  Extensometer  is  a  simplification  of  the  Marshall  apparatus,  embodying  its  best  points,  yet  with  some  improve- 
ments to  increase  ease  and  accuracy  of  adjustment ;  notably,  by  introduction  of  the  squaring  gauge  bar,  which  keeps  the 
clamps  parallel,  brings  the  points  of  measurement  opposite,  and  gauges  the  length. 

It  reads  to  ten  thousandths,  by  micrometer  screw,  giving  readings  on  each  side  of  specimen  for  an  average.  It  has 
special  clamps  on  top  for  tightening  different  lengths  of  measuring-bar,  and  just  below  an  adjusting  wheel  for  bringing 
screw  to  zero. 

An  electric  battery  and  bell  can  be  attached,  if  desired,  for  making  contact. 

The  squaring  gauge  bars  are  made  in  different  lengths,  as  ordered,  the  one  illustrated  above  shows  a  bar  measuring 
eight  inches  between  points. 

NOTE. — Do  not  neglect  to  remove  the  gauge-bar  before  beginning  to  strain  the  specimen.

DESCRIPTION. 


This  instrument  reads  to  thousandths  of  an  inch,  or  closer  if  desired,  and  is  readily  applicable  to  specimens  of 
different  lengths. 

The  two  clamps  being  attached  only  to  the  specimen,  the  instrument  can  be  used  on  any  Testing  Machine,  and  it 
is  wholly  mechanical  in  operation. 

It  consists  of  the  two  clamps,  to  each  of  which  is  attached  a  steel  bar.  These  bars  pass  each  other,  having  between 
them  a  roller  and  the  whole  being  incased  in  a  sleeve  with  tension  attachment,  so  that  the  slightest  motion  of  the  clamps 
relatively  to  each  other  produces  a  revolving  motion  of  the  roller. 

To  the  outer  end  of  the  roller  is  attached  the  disc,  as  shown  in  photograph,  so  that  the  motion  of  the  roller  is 
largely  multiplied  on  the  rim  of  the  disc,  which  is  graduated.  In  front  of  the  rim  will  be  observed  the  upper  end  of  the 
arm  carrying  a  cross-hair  in  front,  and  a  mirror  behind  the  disc.  By  this  simple  method  a  very  accurate  reading  is 
obtained  by  bringing  the  three  points  in  a  line. 

The  cross-hair  arm  has  an  adjusting  screw  for  bringing  the  cross-hair  and  mirror  to  proper  position  longitudinally 
to  catch  the  reflection  and  take  the  reading. 

To  operate  this  instrument  it  is  only  necessary  to  clamp  it  to  the  specimen,  and  adjusting  the  mirror  and  cross- 
hair, revolve  the  disc  by  hand  until  the  zero  line  corresponds  with  the  cross-hair  and  its  reflection.  Strain  is  then  applied 
to  the  specimen  and  readings  taken  as  desired  in  the  same  manner  as  described.  For  the  fine  reading  a  magnifying  glass 
can  be  used  with  added  comfort,  which  will  enable  the  operator  to  read  to  half  a  thousandth. 

If  desired  this  instrument  can  be  made  as  a  double  reader,  and  a  mean  of  both  sides  taken. 

It  is  very  simple  and  handy,  and  though  not  generally  graduated  finer  than  .001,  it  can  be,  while  it  has  a  much 
greater  range  of  stretch  than  many  others.

This  instrument  reads  the  elongation  of  metal  under  stress  to  thousandths  or  to  ten-thousandths  of  an  inch. 

It  is  wholly  mechanical  in  operation,  so  that  no  battery  is  necessary,  and  ta:i  be  used  on  any  Testing  Machine.  It 
is  adjustable  to  specimens  of  six  and  eight  inches  in  length,  and  is  made  in  a  modified  form  for  two-inch  specimens. 

It  is  made  in  a  cheap  form  to  read  on  one  side,  indicating  the  total  stretch  ;  or  in  the  regular  double  reading  form 
the  sum  of  the  two  sides  gives  a  mean  reading  equivalent  to  the  total  stretch.  It  is  adjusted  to  the  specimen  by  the 
clamp  screws  in  the  usual  manner,  and  the  ends  of  the  graduations  are  then  brought  together  at  zero  at  both  sides  at  the 
same  time.  Pressure  is  then  applied  to  the  specimen,  and  the  readings  taken  in  the  same  manner  as  any  scale  and 
vernier,  the  scale  being  graduated  to  thousandths  and  by  the  vernier  to  ten-thousandths.

It  consists  of  an  upper  clamp  in  which  are  two  insulated  bars  which  are  capable  of  adjustment  for  specimens  from 
two  inches  to  eight  inches  in  length.  These  bars  are  connected  by  wires  to  a  circuit  in  which  a  bell  and  battery  are 
placed;  the  lower  clamp,  in  addition  to  the  set  screw  which  holds  it  to  the  specimen,  has  a  spring  and  roller  attachment, 
which,  in  connection  with  a  spirit  level,  assists  in  the  accuracy  of  the  reading. 

The  two  micrometer  screws  have  a  vertical  fleet  of  one  inch;  the  readings  on  the  rim  of  the  disc  indicate  ten- 
thousandths.  In  operation  a  certain  increment  of  load  is  added,  the  reading  taken  first  on  one  and  then  on  the  other 
micrometer  screw  by  running  them  up  until  the  contact  of  the  point  of  the  screw  with  the  insulated  bar  causes  the  bell 
to  ring.  Another  increment  is  then  added  and  the  readings  taken  again,  and  so  on  until  the  elastic  limit  is  reached,  the 
average  of  the  readings  at  each  increment  giving  the  actual  stretch  on  the  axial  line.

The  illustration  represents  our  gauge  for  measuring  minute  extensions  of  specimens,  within  the  limit  of  elasticity. 
It  consists,  as  shown,  of  the  graduated  micrometer  screw,  reading  in  thousandths  up  to  one  inch,  and  having  pointed 
extension  pieces  attached,  for  gauging  the  distance  between  the  small  projections  on  the  collars,  fastened  to  the  specimen 
at  the  proper  distance.  These  collars  are  partly  self-adjusting  by  the  springs  which  help  to  centralize  them.  They  are 
then  clamped  in  place  by  means  of  the  pointed  set  screws  on  the  sides,  and  measurements  are  made  between  the  projections 
on  opposite  sides  of  the  specimen,  and  compared  to  denote  any  changes  in  shape  or  variations  in  the  two  sides.  These 
gauges  can  be  made  six,  eight,  or  ten  inches  in  length,  or  can  be  provided  with  interchangeable  points  to  suit  all  three. 

There  are  other  appliances  of  improved  and  more  recent  designs  shown  in  this  catalogue  for  attaining  the  same

RIEHLE-JACOBI    MERCURY  COLUMN    EXTENSOMETER. 

DESCRIPTION. 

The  principle  of  this  apparatus  is  the  difference  in  volume  of  the  two  cylinders,  by  which  a  very  minute  movement 
of  the  large  plunger  is  multiplied  many  times  in  the  thermometer  tube.  Elongations  of  specimens  are  read  to  ten- 
thousandths  of  an  inch  by  the  graduation.  By  arranging  the  large  plunger  and  cylinder  so  they  can  be  attached  to  a 
specimen,  and  with  screw  adjustments  for  regulating  the  height  of  columns  to  zero,  this  becomes  a  very  sensitive  measuring 
apparatus.

The  Micrometer  screw  for  adjusting  slide  connecting-rods  on  the  Marshall  Extensometer  will  enable  the  user  to  start 
with  o  on  the  division  for  each  observation,  which  is  almost  an  impossibility,  with  the  Clamp  Screw  adjustment,  especially 
when  the  Batteries  are  beginning  to  run  down. 

In  order  to  avoid  this,  the  sketch  will  explain  the  method  of  overcoming  this  point. 

ist.  The  shaded  Rubber  Bushing  in  clamp  will  serve  for  insulation  ;  into  this  is  fastened  a  brass  nut  with  a  closely 
fitting  screw  of  a  fine  thread,  and  giving  about  ^  inch  motion.

Scott.    Price, 


This  illustration  represents  a  Vernier  attachment  for  measuring  elongations  of  specimens.  It  consists  of  a  bar  of 
three-eighths  square  metal,  properly  secured  to  the  column  casting,  and  upon  it  slides  an  adjustable  vernier  which  can  be 
set  to  any  point.  A  scale  is  attached  to  the  cross- head  of  machine  in  such  a  manner  as  to  read  properly  with  the  vernier. 
When  a  specimen  is  set  and  the  wedges  have  secured  a  solid  grip,  the  vernier  is  adjusted  and  the  reading  taken. 
Subsequent  readings  can  be  had  at  any  required  pressure,  thus  securing  the  elongations  corresponding  to  those  points. 

This  apparatus  was  designed  by  Mr.  Irving  M.  Scott,  of  Union  Iron  Works,  San  Francisco,  Cal.,  and  is  in  use  at 
that  place :  it  indicates  the  movement  of  the  cross-head  holding  the  wedge  grips  that  secure  the  specimen  in  place.  As 
noted  above,  the  elongation  of  the  specimen  should  only  be  recorded  after  the  specimen  is  firmly  gripped  by  the  wedges, 
and  after  all  slipping  of  the  tools  or  specimen  has  taken  place. 

The  scale  B  is  secured  to  the  movable  cross-head  of  testing  machine  by  screws  (shown  in  drawing).  A  is  a  bar  of 
iron  fastened  to  the  frame  of  testing  machine  by  screws  at  a  and  b.  The  vernier  is  adjusted  on  the  scale  B,  and  secured

PATENTED  JULY  TTH,  1891.     OTHER   PATENTS  PENDING. 


The  above  represents  a  new  Micrometer  Caliper.  It  has  one  leg  movable  to  enable  it  to  be  inserted  in  small 
holes  in  plates,  boilers,  etc.,  and  designed  to  measure  the  thickness  of  material  up  to  i  inch  at  any  place  selected. 

While  originally  designed  for  the  Steam-Boiler  Inspection  service,  it  has  been  found  useful  in  many  unlooked-for 
directions,  as  it  can  be  used  as  an  ordinary  Micrometer  Caliper,  as  well  as  when  the  movable  leg  is  available. 

The  measuring  leg  is  graduated  to  one-thousandths  of  an  inch,  as  in  the  ordinary  Micrometer  Caliper,  but  is  also 
provided  with  a  lock  (shown  in  the  knurled  set  screw  in  the  cut)  for  fixing  the  measurement;  a  slight  pressure  is 
sufficient  to  secure  it. 

In  operating  through  small  apertures  (a  J^-in.  gas  tap  hole  is  large  enough)  release  knurled  nut  two  turns ;  then 
the  movable  leg  is  pressed  downward  until  a  pin  fitting  into  a  socket  on  it  is  disengaged,  and  allows  it  to  be  turned 
around  on  its  axis.  The  movable  leg  is  then  hooked  through  the  hole,  and  turned  until  the  feather  above  mentioned 
slips  into  the  slot,  which  brings  the  two  caliper  points  into  line,  and  is  thrown  up  against  its  shoulder  by  a  spring, 
after  which  the  knurled  nut  is  secured  up  tight  again. 

The  graduated  leg  is  then  adjusted  and  locked,  the  movable  leg  pressed  down  and  turned  as  before,  and  the 
Caliper  removed. 

When  Calipering  in  dark  places,  the  measurement  being  fixed,  the  Caliper  can  be  taken  out  into  the  light  and 
read,  instead  of  being  obliged  to  read  it  before  removing. 

The  small  hole  necessary  for  inserting  the  Caliper  in  boiler  shells,  is  closed  by  driving  a  copper  rivet  instead  of 
tap  and  plug.

DESCRIPTION    AND    OPERATION. 

This  machine  has  been  made  in  many  sizes  and  with  hand  and  power  hydraulic  pumps.  The  lower  cross-head 
is  worked  up  and  down  the  two  main  screws  by  an  ingenious  device  that  is  always  ready  for  operation,  and  does  its  part 
quickly  and  accurately.  The  power  is  applied  to  the  specimen  by  hydraulic  pump  and  jack.  The  pump  gives  a  steady  flow, 
insuring  a  fair  and  even  pull  on  the  test-piece.  The  plunger  is  returned  to  its  original  position  by  means  of  a  spring 
arrangement  extending  beneath  the  floor.  Any  other  suitable  device  can  be  provided  if  preferred.  The  poise  is  moved 
along  the  weighing-beam  by  means  of  a  chain  and  performs  its  functions  in  an  especially  satisfactory  manner.  It  is  well 
designed  and  carefully  built  with  the  best  material  and  in  a  workmanlike  manner. 

One  great  convenience  of  this  machine  is  that  the  operator  can  weigh  and  pump  continuously,  and  with  ease,  at 
the  same  time.  Made  in  10,000  Ibs.,  20,000  Ibs.,  30,000  Ibs.,  40,000  Ibs.,  50,000  Ibs.,  60,000  Ibs.,  ioo,coo  Ibs.  capacities.

DESCRIPTION    AND   OPERATION. 


This  is  a  very  simple  and  practical  power  pump  of  steady  flow  and  great  capacity,  and  is  very  useful  for  any  heavy 
hydraulic  pumping.  It  is  used  with  the  "  Riehle  "  100  and  2oo-ton  Chain  Testers. 

The  steady  flow,  so  much  desired  by  engineers  for  testing,  is  secured  by  placing  the  eccentrics  at  120  degrees 
angles,  which  gives  very  little,  if  any,  pulsation  to  the  stroke. 

The  valves  are  all  readily  accessible  without  taking  down  any  of  the  main  parts  of  the  pump,  and  power  is  applied 
in  the  simplest  and  most  direct  manner.  This  pump  is  furnished  with  a  change  of  gears  by  which  it  can  be  run  at  either 
fast  or  slow  speed,  and  a  clutch  pulley  for  stopping  and  starting. 

Both  gears  and  pulley  are  controlled  by  convenient  levers. 

This  pump  can  be  built  in  a  somewhat  cheaper  form  with  only  two  plungers ;  also  with  a  single  set  of  gears  for  one

PATENTED  NOVEMBER  8TH,  1881.

Fig.  4. 


DESCRIPTION. 


Fig.  i  is  a  plan  of  Wedge  Clamp,  with  specimens  in  position  ;  C  C,  curved-face  Wedges  :  D,  specimens;  E,  is  a 
pin  that  is  used  to  guide  the  specimen  to  the  centre  of  the  testing  tools.  It  is  only  added  when  specially  ordered. 

Fig.  2  is  sectional  view  of  same. 

Fig.  3  is  a  modification  of  the  wedge  face. 

Fig.  4  is  a  large  engraving. 

The  inclination  of  the  surfaces  of  wedges  are  exaggerated  in  the  drawings  so  as  to  distinctly  set  forth  their  features. 

The  Patent  high-face  Wedge,  as  illustrated  in  cut  to  the  right,  is  intended  for  gripping  flat  specimens  in  any  test- 
ing machine  provided  with  slotted  holding  heads. 

The  intelligent  reader  will  see  at  a  glance  the  design  of  the  simple  device. 

The  face  of  Wedge  is  highest  through  its  centre,  longitudinally,  which  causes  the  specimen  to  align  itself  in- 
stantly, and  as  the  pressure  increases  the  teeth  penetrate  and  hold  from  the  centre  outward,  and  never  from  the  edges 
inward,  making  it  an  impossibility  to  tear  from  the  edges. 

Those  Wedges  and  Liners  that  have  rounded  backs  or  ball  joints  cannot  prevent  a  side  strain  or  torsion  when  the 
"bite"  is  firmer  on  one  side  of  specimen,  or  when  the  opposite  corners  above  and  below  are  held  more  firmly.  The 
slipping  from  dull  teeth,  or  iron  hard  in  spots,  or  from  scaling,  can  never  occur  in  the  Riehle  Wedge  to  throw  the  speci- 
men out  of  line.  The  complete  failure  of  ball  grips  of  all  kinds  is  admitted ;  the  scale,  rust,  or  small  particles  settling  in 
them  causes  their  movement  to  stiffen,  and  if  a  specimen  has  not  sufficient  strength  to  align  them,  it  breaks  when  out 
of  plumb.  The  assertion  can  be  safely  made  that  no  testing  machine  will  pull  a  plain  flat  bar  perfectly  true  with 
convenience  and  simplicity  without  this  patented  grip.

Plate  No.  233. 


Plate  232  is  a  sectional  view  of  a  self-adjusting  Grip  for  holding  square,  round,  or  flat  specimens.  The  wedges  that 
hold  the  test-pieces  bear  against  adjustable  plates,  which  are  provided  with  semi-spherical  surfaces  on  their  opposite  sides. 
These  surfaces  bear  in  turn  against  the  inside  edge  of  the  tools,  which  are  concave,  and  of  suitable  proportions  to  admit 
of  a  free  motion  of  the  several  corresponding  parts. 

These  Grips  have  in  some  cases  given  satisfaction  and  in  other  cases  proved  a  failure,  mainly  on  account  of  the  par- 
ticles of  iron  that  fly  off  as  the  specimen  stretches  and  lodge  back  of  the  Grip,  forming  there  a  solid  mass  which  prevents 
the  wedges  from  moving  as  they  are  intended  to.  We  also  recommend  the  Riehle  Patent  Wedge  Grips  for  flat  speci- 
mens as  preferable  to  Ball  Joint  Wedges.  The  Riehle  Patent  Wedge  Grips  are  described  on  folio  45  of  this  catalogue.

This  Machine  is  constructed  entirely  of  Iron,  Brass,  and  Steel,  and  is  very  stout.  Two  springs  can  be  tested  at 
the  same  time,,  and  their  comparative  qualities  and  working  capacity  determined.  Each  plunger  has  a  capacity  of  25,000 
Ibs.,  and  both  are  worked  with  one  hydraulic  pump.  The  springs  to  be  tested  are  placed  upon  the  two  tables.  The 
upper  tables,  as  in  all  our  Improved  Spring  Testing  Machines,  bear  against  knife  edges  and  weighing  levers,  and  the 
power  applied  by  the  hydraulic  pump  and  jack  to  the  lower  tables  and  through  the  springs  that  are  being  tested  against 
the  upper  tables  are  then  counterbalanced  by  the  levers  and  weights  and  the  strength  of  the  springs  arrived  at.  The 
levers  and  weights  are  all  sealed  to  the  United  States  Standard,  and  the  arrangement  of  the  levers  such  as  to  insure  the 
least  possible  friction,  and  the  accuracy  of  the  machine  can  be  relied  upon.

the  power  being  applied  with  great  ease,  and  may  be  withdrawn  instantly  after  testing  the  specimen.  By  the  use  of 
proper  appliances  elliptic  and  semi-elliptic  springs  of  all  sizes  and  shapes  may  be  tested  on  this  machine.  The  power  is 
produced  with  a  hydrostatic  pump.  The  plunger  with  its  table  (whereupon  the  spring  is  placed  to  undergo  the  test)  is 
forced  upward  toward  the  upper  table.  The  pressure  thus  being  applied  is  communicated  to  the  main  beam  (which  is  ad- 
justed to  a  balance  like  an  ordinary  scale)  by  accurate  weighing  mechanism,  each  lever  being  regulated  to  the  United 
States  standard.  The  beam  is  kept  in  equipoise  by  simultaneously  operating  the  pump  and  placing  weights  on  the  dish  at 
the  end  of  the  beam.  The  dynamic  movement  (one  inch)  to  test  the  springs  while  under  pressure  is,  we  believe,  greater 
in  this  machine  than  in  any  other  tester  made.

This  Compression  Testing  Machine  is  arranged  with  the  weighing  beam  and  system  of  multiplying  levers,  all  tested 
and  regulated  in  accord  with  the  United  States  standard  of  weights,  at  Washington,  D.  C.,  and  delicately  adjusted  to 
weigh  the  strain  exerted  on  the  specimen.  The  power  exerting  the  strain  on  test-piece  is  produced  by  a  worm  and  gear, 
which  can  be  disengaged  and  the  plain  hand-wheel  used  when  desired  for  speed. 

The  above  machine  can  be  arranged  for  making  tensile  tests  of  specimens  of  belting  by  using  the  proper  tools 
(Plate  No.  269)  ;  also  for  testing  wire  (Plate  No.  268).  By  proper  appliances  any  material  can  be  tested  up  to  the 
capacity  of  the  machine.  Of  course,  this  machine  can  be  used  without  having  the  compression  tests  at  all ;  that  is, 
used  for  tensile  machine. 

The  specimen  in  process  of  testing  is  clearly  shown  in  the  above  illustration,  resting  upon  the  platform  of  metal  sus- 
pended from  the  lower  lever  of  the  machine. 

The  strain  upon  the  test-piece  is  produced  by  turning  the  wheel  below  in  front  of  the  frame,  which  causes  the  stirrup, 
which  is  located  at  the  centre  point  of  specimen,  to  bear  down  upon  the  same,  and  the  strain  thus  produced  is  transmitted 
to  the  weighing-beam  through  the  intermediate  lever. 

The  weighing-beam  must  be  kept  in  equipoise  by  shifting  the  poise,  the  power  being  applied  simultaneously  with  the 
movement  of  the  poise,  and  continuing  the  operation  until  the  test  is  concluded.  Care  must  be  taken  that  the  weighing- 
beam  is  balanced  before  the  testing  is  begun,  or  the  test-piece  in  position.  Additional  standard  weights  are  supplied  to 
suspend  on  the  small  end  of  the  weighing-beam,  as  occasion  requires,  to  balance  the  strain  up  to  the  full  strength  of  the 
test-specimen.  .  (

DESCRIPTION. 

This  Testing  Machine  is  arranged  with  multiplying  levers  and  weighing  beam,  and  the  power  exerted  by  Worm  Gear. 
By  some  change  in  the  length  of  frame  and  an  extension  at  the  end,  still  longer  specimens  can  be  tested.  As  in  all  the 
Riehle  Screw  Power  Testing  Machines,  the  power  exerted  upon  the  specimen  is  brought  to  bear  upon  the  system  of 
weighing  levers,  and  the  strain  noted  on  the  beam,  as  in  an  ordinary  platform  scale.  The  Indicator  shows  the  deflection 
of  the  specimen,  and  by  observing  its  movements,  the  properties  of  a  specimen  being  tested  can  be  noted  and  recorded 
for  reference.  This  machine  is  of  the  finest  workmanship  and  best  construction. 

OPERATION. 

When  the  specimen  is  placed  in  position,  the  levers  of  the  machine  being  balanced  with  the  Poise  at  Zero,  adjust  the 
pointer  of  the  indicator  at  O.  Revolve  the  hand  wheel,  which  applies  the  strain,  and  as  the  Beam  raises  move  out  the 
Poise.  Keep  the  Beam  in  equipoise  by  the  simultaneous  addition  of  the  power  or  strain,  and  the  operation  of  the  Poise 
until  the  specimen  breaks  or  has  been  tested  to  the  desired  strain.  The  proper  strain  is  being  weighed  only  while  the 
Beam  is  in  exact  equipoise.  Additional  standard  weights  are  applied  to  suspend  on  the  small  end  of  the  weighing  beam 
as  occasion  requires. 

The  calculations  are  made  so  that  the  beam  registers  the  centre  load.

are  used,  and  the  workmanship  is  first-class  in  every  particular. 

OPERATION. 

The  specimen  in  process  of  testing  is  clearly  shown  in  the  above  illustration,  one  end  resting  upon  a  A  shaped 
piece  of  metal,  the  other  end  being  suspended  from  the  lower  lever  of  the  machine. 

The  strain  upon  the  test-piece  is  produced  by  turning  the  wheel  below  in  front  of  the  frame,  which  causes  the

DESCRIPTION. 

This  illustration  represents  so  faithfully  the  general  appearance  of  this  useful  machine  that  further  description  is  un- 
necessary. The  specimen  is  shown  in  position.  The  weighing-beams  and  levers  are  all  carefully  sealed  to  the  standard 
of  the  United  States  Government,  and  guaranteed  to  be  accurate  and  reliable. 

OPERATION. 

The  weighing-beam  must  be  balanced  before  the  specimen  is  arranged  for  testing.  The  wheel  shown  must  be 
moved  from  left  to  right,  and,  as  the  beam  raises,  the  poise  must  be  moved  out  to  restore  the  equipoise.  If  more  strain 
is  required  to  break  the  specimen  than  can  be  weighed  by  the  poise,  move  the  poise  back  to  zero,  and  place  the  loose 
weight  on  the  weight  dish  shown  at  the  extreme  left  (small  end)  of  weighing-beam,  and  move  the  poise  out  as  before, 
until  the  test  is  completed.  The  calculations  are  made  so  that  the  beam  registers  the  centre  load.

RIEHLE   BROS.   TESTING   MACHINE  CO.,    PHILADELPHIA. 


DESCRIPTION. 

The  "  U.  S.  Standard  "  Cement  Testing  Machine  was  designed  after  a  thorough  examination  of  the  most  approved 
forms  of  machines  in  use  in  this  country  and  in  Europe,  with  ADDITIONS  and  IMPROVEMENTS  introduced  by  us  to 
suit  the  requirements  of  American  Engineers  and  Manufacturers.  The  Machine,  as  now  constructed,  was  made  according 
to  specifications  given  by  the  Chief  Engineer  of  the  Department  of  Public  Works,  of  New  York  City,  to  test  briquettes 
of  one  and  two-inch  areas,  and  was  tested,  by  order  of  the  Department,  up  to  its  full  capacity  of  1,000  Ibs.,  with  a 
Dynamometer  especially  adapted  for  the  purpose,  and  found  absolutely  correct.  Since  that  time  all  the  Machines  made 
by  us  have  been  constructed  in  conformity  with  the  specifications  aforesaid,  and  have  never  failed  to  perform  their  duty 
to  the  satisfaction  of  the  parties  using  them.  The  claims  of  superiority  of  the  "  Standard  "  Machine  over  all  others  that 
have  been  offered  to  the  public  are  based  on  the  fact  that  it  is  constructed  on  strictly  scientific  principles,  calculated  to 
do  the  work  rapidly,  correctly,  and,  if  necessary,  at  all  times  up  to  the  full  capacity  of  the  Machine,  viz.  :  1,000  Ibs., 
without  danger  of  injuring  it  or  impairing  the  working  parts  by  constant  use.  To  make  a  Machine  more  compact  than 
the  "  Standard"  necessitates  the  use  of  a  complication  of  leverage,  which  tends  to  affect  the  accuracy  of  the  Machine. 
All  appliances  of  this  kind  have  been  studiously  avoided  by  us,  as  the  nature  of  the  material  to  be  tested  DOES  NOT 
ADMIT  of  a  sacrifice  of  accuracy  to  possible  convenience.  The  method  adopted  in  the  "  Standard  "  of  applying  the 
strains  by  means  of  a  pulling  screw,  and  a  traveling  poise  on  the  beam  in  the  hands  of  the  operator,  who  can  use  the 
power  to  be  applied  either  fast  or  slow,  as  occasion  may  require,  is  the  ONLY  CORRECT  METHOD  OF  TESTING  A 
SUBSTANCE  that  varies  in  its  consistency  as  much  as  cement.  The  "  Standard  "  is  NOT  A  UTOMA  TIC,  but  responds 
to  every  call  made  upon  it,  recording  from  i  Ib.  to  1,000  Ibs.  with  an  accuracy  that  does  not  admit  of  adverse  criticism. 

The  arrangement  of  the  "  Grips  "  on  the  "  Standard  "  (SWINGING  THEM  ON  PINS)  is  used  only  on  this 
Machine,  and  requires  no  explanation  or  comment  from  us,  as  the  advantages  are  perfectly  apparent  to  any  one  who  knows 
the  inaccurate  results  consequent  upon  gripping  a  briquette  of  cement  otherwise  than  on  a  "  dead-straight  line,"  which 
is  impossible  with  the  "  Pin  Grip."  The  "  Standard  "  Grip  can  be  used  as  readily  on  the  i-inch  briquette  recommended 
by  the  American  Society  of  Civil  Engineers  (or  any  i-inch  briquette),  as  well  as  on  the  figure  8  briquette  adopted  by  the 
Department  of  Public  Works  of  New  York  City,  thus  giving  engineers  and  others  an  opportunity  of  making  comparisons 
if  so  disposed. 


OPERATION. 

After  the  briquette  is  prepared  it  is  placed  in  the  grips,  and,  being  carefully  adjusted,  the  hand-wheel  connected  by 
a  screw  to  the  lower  grip,  is  turned  from  left  to  right,  and  continued  until  the  indicator  of  weighing  beam  (which  moves 
in  a  gate  at  the  top  of  the  Machine  and  nearly  on  a  line  with  the  eye  of  the  operator)  drops.  This  indicator  moves  the 
reverse  of  the  weighing  beam,  and  when  too  much  strain  is  exerted  it  falls,  and  when  too  much  weight  is  applied  it  raises 
to  the  top  of  gate.  It  is  important  that  the  indicator  should  vibrate  in  the  centre  of  the  gate,  and  rest  neither  up  nor 
down.  This  result  can  be  attained  by  carefully  manipulating  the  large  hand-wheel  and  the  simultaneous  movement 
of  the  poise  on  the  weighing  beam.  When  the  indicating  beam  drops  down,  when  the  test  first  begins,  the  rest  of  the 
test  can  usually  continue  without  again  moving  the  large  hand-wheel,  which  is  shown  underneath  the  end  of  shelf.  As 
is  readily  understood,  the  operator  propels  the  poises  backward  and  forward  by  means  of  the  hand-wheel  (at  butt  end  of 
weighing  beam)  and  cord  passing  around  a  pulley  at  the  other  end  of  machine.  By  a  little  practice  a  person  gets  very 
expert,  and  can  make  a  test  with  facility. 

A  FEW  SPECIAL  FEATURES  OF  THIS  STYLE  OF  TESTING  MACHINE. 


A. — The  poise  moves  quietly  and  smoothly  on  weighing  beam. 

B. — The  weighing  beam  is  long,  and  the  marks  not  too  close  together. 
The  slightest  movement  of  the  beam  is  promptly  and  plainly  ob- 
served by  the  motion  of  the  indicator. 

C. — All  the  parts  of  the  "  Standard  "  are  uniform  and  interchangeable, 
and  made  by  special  machinery. 

D. — The  levers  are  tested  and  sealed  to  U.  S.  Standard  Weight. 

E. — Strength  and  simplicity  in  construction,  convenience  in  operation, 

and  accuracy  of  results.

DESCRIPTION  AND   OPERATION. 

This  machine  was  designed  to  meet  the  demand  for  a  cheaper  form  of  cement  tester  than  our  regular  "standard," 
and  one  which  would  not  occupy  so  much  office  room.  Most  of  the  room  taken  by  this  apparatus  is  in  the  vertical 
direction,  and" can  therefore  be  easily  spared. 

•  The  base  is  screwed  fast  to  a  table  or  shelf,  sufficiently  near  the  edge  to  allow  the  crank  to  turn.  The  specimens  are 
then  inserted  in  the  grips,  adjustment  being  made  by  the  crank  to  suit  the  length  of  specimen,  and  when  all  is  set  fair 
and  in  readiness  the  pressure  is  applied  smoothly  and  steadily  by  revolving  the  crank.  The  dial  gauge  has  about  i  */£ 
inches  of  movement,  and  as  it  descends  allows  the  wedge  at  the  rear  slide  to  drop  and  block  the  gauge  and  pointer  from 
the  shock  of  a  sudden  recoil  at  fracture,  as  well  as  leaving  the  register  of  the  maximum  load.  The  gauge  is  then  relieved 
by  means  of  the  handle  bar.  A  piece  of  pipe  can  also  be  used  in  connection  with  the  bar  for  increase  of  power  and  ease 
of  motion.  The  wedge  is  then  withdrawn,  and  pointer  allowed  to  return  to  zero.  The  dial  gauge  can  be  removed  and 
tested  for  accuracy  at  any  time.  We  believe  this  machine  will  prove  very  handy  and  convenient.

W.  R.  C.  RUBBER   POINT  CEMENT  GRIP. 


Plate  No.  175. 


Telegraph. 
Cock. 


Price, 


DESCRIPTION. 

The  Cement  Grip  above  illustrated  is  a  special  form  designed  to  prevent  the  Grip  from  cutting  into  the  briquette, 
and  causing  it  to  break  at  other  points  than  that  of  smallest  area.  The  tendency  of  briquettes  to  break  elsewhere  than  at 
the  smallest  point  is  well  known,  and  various  efforts  have  been  made  to  overcome  the  annoyance,  which  has  been  proved 
by  experiments  to  be  chiefly  due  to  imperfect  centering  of  the  briquettes  in  the  Grips. 

A  series  of  experiments  having  proved  that  a  cushion  at  the  edge  of  Grips  would  prevent  the  breakage  complained 
of,  the  W.  R.  C.  Grip  is  placed  on  the  market  with  the  assurance  that  to  a  great  extent  it  overcomes  the  difficulty,  and 
gives  a  larger  proportion  of  central  fractures  than  any  Grip  heretofore  used.  The  line  of  contact  between  Grip  and 
briquette  is  a  rubber  tube  mounted  on  a  pin.  This  rubber  tubing  can  be  bought  at  slight  expense,  and  can  be  readily 
replaced  when  worn  out. 

We  illustrate  below  comparative  results  of  breaking  cement  briquettes  by  a  Standard  and  a  W.  R.  C.  Grip.  Five 
briquettes  were  broken  with  the  Standard,  and  five  with  the  W.  R.  C. 


BROKEN  WITH  STANDARD  GRIP. 


BROKEN  WITH  W.  R.  C.  GRIP. 


Cement  was  carefully  sifted  through  a  5o-mesh  sieve,  and  the  briquettes  made  at  the  Testing  Laboratory  of  the 
Lawrence  Cement  Co.,  New  York.  The  results  shown  clearly  substantiate  the  claim  that  "  imperfect  fractures  are  due  to 
the  use  of  the  old  style  Grip,"  and  the  perfect  fractures  to  a  Grip  with  protected  edges.  The  central  fractures  made  with 
the  W.  R.  C.  Grip  are  attributed  to  the  fact  that  the  yielding  of  the  rubber  allowed  the  briquettes  to  centre  themselves 
perfectly. 

The  Grip  is  in  use  by  a  number  of  Engineers,  and  we  append  the  following  letter  showing  some  results  obtained 
from  its  use  : 


NEW  YORK,  January  2cl,  1892. 
RIEHLE  BROS.  TESTING  MACHINE  CO., 

GENTLEMEN  : — 

The  "  W.  R.  C."  Grip  has  proved  very  satisfactory  to  us.  During  the  last  year  we  broke  some  1,500  or  more  briquettes  of  a 
number  of  different  brands  of  cement,  both  Portland  and  Rosendale.  Over  95  per  cent,  of  these  broke  within  one-sixteenth  of  an  inch  of  the  smaller 
section,  and  not  one  broke  more  than  one-quarter  of  an  inch  from  the  centre.  The  briquettes  were  all  made  and  broken  by  a  young  man  who  had  no 
previous  experience  in  this  kind  of  work. 


We  usually  found  that  bad  breaks  were  caused  by  some  visible  defect  in  the  briquettes. 

Yours  very  truly,

The  above  illustration  represents  Riehle  Brothers'  Improved  Binder  Twine  Testing  Machine.  It  is  made  in  two 
sizes,  viz.:  500  Ibs.  capacity  and  1,000  Ibs.  capacity.  Both  machines  test  specimens  in  6  feet  lengths. 

The  extreme  height  of  the  machine  is  5  feet  6  inches;  width,  about  24  inches;  depth,  8  inches.  The  motion  of 
screw  for  taking  up  the  slack  of  specimens  is  8  inches.  The  apparatus  stands  upon  the  floor,  and  the  beam  comes  in  con- 
venient reach  of  the  experimenter,  who  can  move  the  poise  on  same  with  one  hand  and  turn  the  wheel  that  applies  the 
strain  with  the  other. 

In  operating  the  machine  the  weighing  of  the  test  and  the  increasing  of  the  power  should  be  done  simultaneously 
and  the  beam  kept  swinging  entirely  free,  touching  neither  the  upper  nor  lower  bar.  This  Testing  Machine  is  positively 
accurate  and  reliable,  and  so  simple  that  there  is  no  likelihood  of  its  becoming  deranged.  The  accuracy  of  the  weighing 
levers  can  be  tested  at  any  time  by  suspending  a  known  weight  therefrom  and  moving  the  poise  out  to  balance  the  same, 
and  then  observe  that  the  weights  agree.  These  levers  are  all  regulated  to  the  standard  of  the  United  States  Government 
by  weights  sealed  by  the  United  States  officials. 

Grips  for  holding  cloth  specimens,  as  shown  on  Plate  No.  25,  can  be  applied  to  this  machine  for  testing  long 
specimens  of  duck,  etc.,  etc.

twine  with  suitable  tools.  Motion  of  screw  4  inches. 


DESCRIPTION  AND  OPERATION. 

The  above  represents  an  accurate  and  reliable  Cloth  Tester,  which  is  offered  to  the  public  as  the  best  and  handiest 
in  the  market. 

It  can  be  placed  on  a  desk,  is  well  finished  and  rather  ornamental.  By  changing  the  grips  it  can  be  arranged  to 
test  paper,  fine  wire,  silk,  cotton,  or  twine. 

After  the  specimen  is  in  position,  the  hand-wheel  shown  at  the  bottom  is  turned  from  left  to  right,  and  as  the 
strain  increases  the  finger  point  on  the  dial  indicates  it.  When  the  specimen  breaks  the  pointer  will  remain  at  the  high- 
est point,  as  there  is  a  wedge  which  follows  the  strain  and  locks  the  dial  finger  until  released  by  the  lever  shown  project- 
ing conveniently  in  front. 

The  levers  are  adjusted  to  the  standard  of  the  United  States  Government.

DESCRIPTION  AND   OPERATION. 

This  Paper  Tester  is  constructed  entirely  of  metal.  A  weight  balance  indicates  the  strain.  No  loose  weights. 
When  the  specimen  is  secured,  the  wheel  at  the  end  of  the  machine  being  turned,  causes  the  mandrel  to  turn  and  apoly 
the  strain  to  specimens.  The  indicator  on  face  of  dial,  remains  stationary  at  the  breaking  point.  A  test  can  be  made 
with  speed  and  accuracy.  The  Weymouth  Paper  Mills,  New  Jersey,  ordered  the  first  machine.  Every  paper  mill  and 
paper  dealer  should  have  one.

DESCRIPTION. 

This  photograph  illustrates  the  Riehle  New  Iron  Frame  Torsional  Testing  Machine,  which  has  met  with  favor  be- 
yond our  expectation.  It  was  first  sold  to  a  prominent  railroad  company  for  their  Testing  Department,  and  since  it  has 
been  purchased  by  the  Russian  and  Brazilian  Governments,  and  several  institutions  of  learning.  The  fixed  head  carrying 
Self-Centring  Grips  has  arms  one  foot  in  length,  projecting  either  side  of  the  grip-head  (which  is  supported  on  a  knife 
edge).  To  prevent  the  grip-head  from  lifting  from  its  position,  the  one-foot  arms  are  connected  to  an  equalizing  lever 
underneath,  and  this  in  turn  connects  the  weighing  beams,  where  the  strain  is  recorded  in  foot-pounds  without  any  calcu- 
lation on  the  part  of  the  operator.  The  Cone  Pulley  has  four  sizes  diameters,  and  is  driven  from  the  Countershaft  which 
is  furnished  if  ordered.  Countershaft  should  not  run  faster  than  30  or  40  revolutions. 

This  Machine  is  constructed  entirely  of  iron,  brass,  and  steel,  and  is  of  handsome  design  and  finish.  The  levers 
and  Weighing  Beam  are  adjusted  to  the  Standard  of  the  U.  S.  Government  at  Washington.  A  modification  of  this  design 
enables  the  power  to  be  applied  by  hand  instead  of  power,  although  if  power  is  at  hand  it  is  much  better  to  have  the 
machine  run  by  this  method.

DESCRIPTION  AND  OPERATION. 


This  handy  little  machine  is  much  used  for  testing  telephone  and  telegraph  wire  by  torsion  strain.  A  test  often 
required  is  40  turns  in  a  length  of  6  inches,  either  for  80  mils  or  104.  Our  machine  has  a  sliding  adjustable  head  to  suit 
different  lengths,  with  a  tension  take-up  on  the  sliding  spindle  to  allow  for  any  change  of  length  during  test.  There  is 
also  a  blocking  piece  to  lock  the  jaw  out  till  wire  is  set.  It  is  then  removed,  and  gives  free  end  play  in  both  directions. 
The  jaws  being  clamped  on  the  wire  the  hand-wheel  is  then  revolved  and  the  turns  counted.

DESCRIPTION    AND    OPERATION. 

This  compact  Machine  consists  of  a  Master  Car  Builders'  Axle  Journal,  which  is  removable  from  main  spindle. 
This  journal  is  made  to  revolve  by  Cone  Pulley  at  different  speeds,  and  in  either  direction,  and  can  be  loaded  to  different 
pressures  per  inch  by  means  of  the  lever  system.  The  oil  can  be  applied  through  hole  in  top,  which  is  tapped  to  receive 
Sight  Feed  Oiler,  or  funnel  or  other  arrangement.  There  is  also  a  hole  for  Thermometer  to  take  temperature. 

The  Friction  is  weighed  on  the  beams,  which  are  arranged  in  double  system  to  balance  each  other,  and  so 
Machine  can  be  run  in  either  direction.  The  opening  in  frame  over  journal  is  made  large  enough  to  take  a  regular 
"car  box  if  desired. 

The  Frame  and  Beams  can  be  raised  by  rope  sling  and  hoist  for  change  of  journal,  cleaning  up,  etc.,  etc. 
There  is  an  end  motion  of  about  ^  to  fo  inch  given  to  axle  by  the  gearing  shown  at  the  end,  giving  a  very  natural  move- 
ment, like  cars.  The  weighted  end  of  spindle  runs  loose  on  large  rollers,  to  avoid  friction  and  heating.

DESCRIPTION, 

This  improved  Hay  and  Straw  Rope  Twister  or  Spinner  is  superior  to  anything  of  the  kind  in  the  market.  It  is 
constructed  of  the  most  approved  design,  of  the  best  materials,  and  the  workmanship  is  first-class.  The  bearings  of  the 
revolving  frame  turn  upon  stout  iron  standards,  which  rest  on  heavy  wooden  skids,  two  inches  by  eight  inches.  The 
winding  pulley  is  propelled  backward  and  forward  by  cog  gearing  on  a  right  and  left  screw,  which  reverses  by  a  spring 
arrangement  at  each  end  of  same.  Now  made  with  iron  bottom  frame  supporting  the  upright  iron  frame.

This  cut  represents  our  thirty-five  ton  hydraulic  press  as  used  in  a  simple  form  by  steel  foundries  for  straightening  or 
bending  castings,  and  for  a  variety  of  uses  as  may  be  required. 

The  plunger  is  sustained  by  a  counterweight  which  is  generally  made  of  scrap  or  ring  weights  by  the  parties  purchasing 
the  press.  Power  is  then  applied  by  means  of  a  pump,  or  from  the  ordinary  accumulator  pressure  to  the  upper  part  of  the 
cylinder,  and  the  plunger  movement  controlled  by  a  three-way  cock  easily  operated  by  a  long  lever. 

We  also  have  a  somewhat  similar  pattern,  but  inverted,  as  used  for  oil  presses,  etc.,  and  special  sizes  or  kinds  can  be 
made  to  suit  customers.

The  "  Riehl6  Standard  Pig  Metal  Truck  "  is  made  in  two  sizes  as  given  above — one  size  to  carry  two  tons;  one 
size  to  carry  three  tons.  They  can  be  made  larger  or  smaller  if  specially  ordered,  but  these  are  the  sizes  which  we 
generally  receive  orders  for.  The  demands  for  heavy  appliances  around  blast  furnaces  are  fully  met  in  the  strength  and 
weight  in  these  trucks.  They  are  built  almost  entirely  of  wrought  iron,  and  we  believe  will  last  quite  as  long  as  the 
blast  furnace  itself.  The  axles  are  covered  with  gas  pipe  for  self-oiling  box,  and  the  wheels  are  made  with  chilled  tire. 

These  trucks  have  been  tried  long  enough  to  test  their  merits  conclusively,  and  give  the  greatest  satisfaction 
wherever  used.

Plate  No.  19O. 


DESCRIPTION  AND   OPERATION. 

The  above  engraving  is  from  a  photograph  recently  taken  of  the  "  RIEHLE  PATENTED  NEW  MARBLE 
MOLDING  AND  COUNTERSINKING  MACHINE,"  and  embodies  all  the  latest  improvements.  The  machine  is 
shown  resting  upon  a  block  of  stone,  which  is  generally  set  upon  a  brick  foundation.  It  is  automatic  in  all  its  movements, 
and  with  the  several  appliances  will  perform  a  great  variety  of  work  on  stone,  such  as  molding,  countersinking,  etc.  It 
is  claimed  that  this  machine  will  do  the  work  of  six  or  eight  men  in  countersinking  wash-stand  slabs,  besides  leaving  a 
much  cleaner  and  smoother  surface  to  polish. 

The  arrangement  of  slides  is  such  that  a  cross-feed  in  either  direction  is  obtained,  and  by  an  extra  rotary  table 
actuated  by  worm  and  gear,  a  rotary  movement  is  added.  This  is  used  in  beveling  the  hole  of  wash-stand  tops. 

By  the  three  levers  shown  in  front  of  machine,  the  different  feed  movements  are  thrown  in  and  out  of  gear  by  the 
clutches  which  control  them;  and  by  skillful  handling  of  the  combinations  a  number  of  movements  can  be  obtained, 
such  as  diagonal  and  spiral,  in  addition  to  the  regular,  long,  cross,  and  rotary  feed.  The  use  of  the  crank  permits  of 
hand  adjustment  when  power  is  off. 

The  upper  bracket,  carrying  the  driving  shaft  and  gearing,  is  stationary,  while  the  lower,  carrying  the  cutter  and^ 
spindle,  is  adjusted  to  the  proper  depth  of  cut  by  the  hand- wheel  and  screw  as  shown. 


79 


RIEHLE   BROS.  TESTING   MACHINE   CO.,   PHILADELPHIA. 


The  two  large  pulleys  on  driving  shaft  are  now  driven  by  a  sliding  clutch  operated  between  them,  and  as  these 
pulleys  are  driven  at  speeds  of  about  75  and  120  revolutions  respectively,  we  have  the  choice  of  these  speeds  according 
to  circumstances. 

This  machine  is  compact,  substantial,  and  well  made,  and  will  do  all  that  is  claimed  for  it.  Twenty-eight  slabs  of 
Italian  marble,  2o"x3o",  are  said  to  have  been  countersunk  in  ten  hours,  and  it  is  claimed  by  some  who  have  used  this 
machine  that  20  slabs  can  be  maintained. 

But  comparatively  little  power  is  required  to  run  this  countersinking  machine,  as  the  revolutions  of  the  cutters  are 
slow.  By  using  different  cutters  a  variety  of  molding  can  be  obtained,  and  the  table,  which  moves,  can  be  guided  so  as 
to  cut  in  straight  lines,  circles,  or  any  angle  diagonally. 

The  table  is  made  long  enough  to  support  the  largest  piece  of  marble  that  is  likely  to  be  required,  such  as  hotel 
wash-basins  with  a  number  of  holes.  The  operator  has  the  machine  under  perfect  control. 

This  machine  has  a  double  change  of  feed  for  cutters,  by  shi  fting  a  clutch  on  driving-shaft.  It  also  embodies  the  con- 
venient shifter  lever,  controlling  two  changes  of  driving  speed.  The  machines  with  long  bed  have  an  extra  lever  at  end  of 
table,  making  quadruple  feed  change  and  quick  table  return. 

The  Rotary  and  Corner  Slab  Tables  have  cut  gear-teeth,  and  are  driven  from  their  outer  periphery,  giving  them 
smoothness  of  running,  which  is  very  desirable. 

The  Pedestals  of  Surface  Molder  have  been  lengthened,  so  as  to  allow  of  cutting  deeper  moldings,  up  to  about 
three-quarters  of  an  inch  deep.  It  is  safe  to  commend  this  machine  with  the  greatest  confidence,  as  being  the  best 
appliance  for  accomplishing  the  purpose  for  which  it  is  constructed.  Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the  machine  is  fully- 
protected  by  letters-patent  in  every  detail,  and  that  the  material  and  workmanship  are  first-class,  and  that  it  has  become  a 
necessity,  and  actually  indispensable,  we  have  not  taken  advantage  of  our  position  in  demanding  what  it  is  really  worth 
to  the  purchaser,  but  are  asking  a  very  moderate  price. 

1st.— What  the  Plain  Machine  will  do. 

It  will  countersink  the  slabs  and  drop  the  faucet-stands  (Figs,  i,  2,  and  3),  and  mold  the  edge  in  O.  G.,  bevel,  or 
other  shapes,  the  cutter  working  on  a  vertical  axis.  The  feeds  are  either  hand  or  automatic,  at  the  will  of  the  operator, 
and  the  tables  move  back  or  forth,  from  side  to  side,  or  in  diagonal  lines. 

2d. — What   the    Rotary   Table    Will    do.     (Shown  in  illustration  to  the  left  of  centre.) 

The  Rotary  Table  feeds  either  by  hand  or  automatically,  at  the  will  of  the  operator,  and  does  its  work  in  circles, 
spirals,  and  curves.  By  the  combination  of  the  feeds  of  the  Rotary  Tables  with  those  of  the  lower  tables,  lines  of 
any  shape  can  be  made.  It  is  not  necessary  to  remove  the  Rotary  Table  when  straight  lines  are  wanted,  as  by  throwing 
out  the  Rotary  Table  feed,  it  works  the  same  as  a  Plain  Machine. 

3d. — The    Surface-Molder.     (Shown  in  illustration  on  Quarter-Circle  Table.) 

The  Surface  Molder  cuts  from  a  horizontal  axis,  and  is  used  for  making  panels,  for  laying  out  panels  in  plain  slabs, 
for  vestibule  sides,  wainscoting,  etc.  It  will  cut  at  any  distance  inside  the  slab  (see  Fig.  4).  It  is  largely  used  for 
channeling  or  ploughing  to  simulate  joints,  or  to  hide  joints  for  lintels  and  door  or  window-casings. 


4th.— The    Quarter-Circle   Table.     (Illustrated  on  Circular  to  the  right  of  centre.) 

The  Quarter-Circle  or  Corner  Slab  Table  is  used  for  countersinking  corner-basin  slabs,  and  its  feed  is  so  arranged 
that  travel  per  second  is  the  same  whether  cutting  close  to  the  centre  or  to  the  outer  edge. 

The  regular  cutter-head  furnished  with  the  Machine  has  six  steel  knives,  which  are  ground  to  suit  the  shape  of 
molding  required.

Plate  181  represents  the  regular  countersinking  cutter-head  furnished  with  the  Machine.  This  head  receives 
cutters  of  ^  inch  by  ^  inch,  or  ^  inch  by  T\  inch  steel,  held  in  place  by  set-screws ;  the  thrust  of  the  cut  being 
received  on  the  washer-plate  behind. 

This  style  of  cutter-head  is  also  made  in  a  larger  size  with  eight  gutters  and  known  as  Plate  181,  size  B. 

Plate  182  is  a  special  cutter,  and  was  made  to  order  with  the  view  of  cutting  very  wide  molding  a*  one  cut.  It  is 
like  the  regular  countersinker. 

Plate  183,  known  as  RIEHLE-HATCHER  CUTTER,  patented  December  3d,  1889  (of  which  we  are  the  sole 
makers  and  owners),  is  very  valuable  for  cutting  side  moldings,  as  it  is  very  stiff  and  works  the  cutters  very  close  to 
centre.  It  will  also  cut  a  groove  or  a  bead,  and  it  is  said  will  turn  out  more  moldings  than  any  other  style. 

Plate  (Cutters)  184  are  used  to  cut  bevels,  as  shown  by  Fig.  i. 

Plate  (Cutters)  185  are  used  to  cut  O.  G.'s,  as  shown  by  Fig  2. 

Plate  (Cutters)  186  are  plain  countersinking  cutters. 

.Plate  (Cutters)  187  are  used  for  countersinking  and  dropping  faucet  elevations,  as  shown  by  Fig.  3. 

The  Surface  Molder  cuts  interior  moldings,  as  shown  by  Fig.  4.  Knives  of  different  forms  can  be  used  as 
required. 

The  Riehle-Hatcher  Patent  Cutter,  Plate  No.  183,  is  used  to  cut  all  kinds  of  moldings,  and  is  the  most  serviceable 
of  any  for  this  purpose.

SPECIAL  STEEL  for  making  bits,  ^  inches  by  T'0-  inches.  This  is 
a  very  superior  steel,  and  the  only  kind  we  can  recommend, 
and  as  the  size  is  very  small,  the  price  is  very  high,  and  a 
pound  of  steel  will  make,  say  twelve  bits  of  ordinary  length. 


The  above  articles  will  be  procured  by  us  and  furnished  to  our  customers  in  order  to  accommodate  them.  As  all 
the  articles  are  special,  we  will  send  them  C.  O.  D.  at  the  lowest  possible  price. 

The  special  steel  which  \ve  recommend  for  use  for  bits  is  cut  hot,  and  must  be  kept  from  water  while  hot.  It 
requires  no  working  for  cutters — merely  cutting  off  and  grinding  edges.  It  is  self-hardening,  and  if  edges  burn  a  little 
on  emery  wheel  during  sharpening,  it  does  not  hurt  the  steel  or  draw  the  temper.

DESCRIPTION. 

The  back  pulleys  are  22  inches  diameter  by  6  inches  face,  belted  direct  to  the  main  line  of  shafting  (this  depends  on 
line  speed).  The  pulleys  on  the  machine  must  run  from  left  to  right,  and  at  a  speed  of  about  70  to  120  revolutions,  and 
so  as  to  revolve  cutters  right-handed.  Both  pulleys  are  belted  to  separate  pulleys  on  the  main  shaft,  and  are  of  equal 
diameter  and  face,  and  should  be  driven  by  a  double  belt  6  inches  wide. 

This  machine  is  one  of  the  largest  marble  molding  and  countersinking  machines  ever  built,  and  known  as  "Style  C." 

It  is  automatic  in  all  its  movements,  can  be  quickly  adjusted  and  easily  controlled,  and  will  perform  the  work  of 
several  men  in  working  upon  marble,  and  leaves  a  much  cleaner  and  smoother  surface  for  polishing. 

By  using  the  three  levers  shown  in  the  front  of  the  machine,  the  several  movements  are  thrown  in  and  out  of  gear  by 
clutches  which  control  them,  and  by  the  combination  of  same  other  motions  can  be  obtained,  such  as  diagonal,  in 
addition  to  the  regular  long  and  cross  feeds.  The  rotary  table  is  not  included  as  regular,  and  must  be  ordered  and  paid 
for  extra.  The  use  of  a  crank  permits  of  hand  adjustments  when  the  power  is  off. 

The  brackets  carrying  the  driving  shafts  and  gearing  are  stationary,  while  the  cutters  and  spindles  are  adjusted  to 
the  proper  depth  of  cut  by  the  hand-wheel  for  rapid  work  and  the  worm  for  fine  adjustment,  as  shown. 

By  using  different  cutters  a  variety  of  moldings  can  be  obtained,  and  the  table  which  moves  can  be  guided  so  as  to 
cut  in  a  straight  line,  circles,  or  any  angle  diagonally. 

We  can  recommend  this  machine  with  the  greatest  confidence  as  being  suitable  for  the  purposes  for  which  it  is 
constructed.  It  is  fully  protected  by  letters  patent,  of  which  our  firm  has  exclusive  control,  and  we  are  the  sole  makers. 
It  has  been  put  upon  the  market  at  a  very  moderate  price,  notwithstanding  it  is  made  in  the  most  substantial  form  and  of 
the  very  best  material  and  by  skilled  workmen. 

The  first  machine  was  built  on  special  order  for  Messrs.  Batterson,  See  &  Eisele,  New  York,  and  is  the  fifth  machine 
that  this  firm  has  purchased  from  us. 

By  the  use  of  the  double  spindle  one  cutter-head  follows  the  other,  and  in  this  way  can  remove  extra  stock  and  make 
wide  moldings  at  one  travel  of  the  table.

DESCRIPTION   AND  ADAPTATION. 

The  machine  consists  of  a  vertical  spindle  with  a  motion  of  10  inches,  and  driven  by  a  horizontal  driving-shaft 
connected  with  it  by  bevel  gearing.  This  shaft  carries  tight  and  loose  pulleys.  The  spindle  is  raised  and  lowered  by  a 
counterweighted  lever  with  direct  connection.  The  regular  hole-cutter  consists  of  a  pulley  ny£  inches  diameter,  furnished 
with  a  large  number  of  cutters,  i  inch  by  y&  inch  iron,  secured  to  the  rim.  Cutters  for  any  other  size  hole  furnished. 
One  cutter-head  goes  with  every  machine.  Other  cutters  are  extra. 

If  an  adjusted  cutter-bar  is  wanted  it  can  be  made  with  slots  in  a  bar  arranged  to  cut  holes,  say  from  8  inches  to  20 
inches,  but  this  will  not  cut  as  fast  on  account  of  not  having  as  many  cutters.

DESCRIPTION. 

The  accompanying  illustration  is  a  representation  of  our  Marble  Sanding  Machine,  which  has  proved  to  be  a  very 
useful  and  handy  apparatus,  and  a  valuable  accompaniment  to  our  Marble  Countersinker  and  Molder.  It  consists  of  a 
disk,  hollow  in  the  centre,  to  retain  the  grit,  etc.,  and  revolved  by  means  of  the  rods,  gearing,  and  pulleys,  as  shown. 
Double  flexible  joints  give  a  universal  movement  to  the  polishing-disk,  which  is  guided  by  the  handles,  as  shown.  This 
apparatus  has  been  well  tried,  and  is  known  to  be  good. 

As  it  is  necessary  to  apply  some  weight  in  polishing  marble  and  other  stone,  we  now  do  away  with  the  counter- 
balance, so  as  to  utilize  the  weight  of  the  shaft,  etc.,  otherwise  the  operator  will  have  to  bear  down  on  the  head  all  the  time 
he  is  working.  Some  of  our  customers  who  are  using  our  Polisher  removed  the  ball  themselves,  and  gave  us  this  suggestion. 

ADAPTATION. 

The  shaft  slides  up  and  down  in  its  bearings,  as  shown  in  the  cut,  the  spline  in  the  shaft  indicating  where  the  key 
takes  hold  in  revolving  from  the  gear.  This  is  the  accommodation  while  running  over  a  slab.  For  slabs,  etc.,  of  different 
thicknesses  the  rod  is  made  telescopic,  so  as  to  be  adjusted  to  a  wide  range  of  thicknesses,  and  when  clamped  in  proper 
place  it  has  the  range  due  to  the  vertical  movement  of  the  driving-shaft  in  the  gear.  The  cut  shows  the  shaft  at  the 
extreme  bottom  of  its  stroke,  and  can  be  given  more  or  less  stroke,  according  to  the  length  of  shaft  above  A.

"         October  2Oth,  1891. 


Plate  No.  152. 


DESCRIPTION. 

The  ordinary  form  of  screw  jack  has  several  serious  defects  in  operating  which  are  well  known  to  every  engineer  and 
mechanic.  One  is  that  when  the  screw  is  raised  to  an  undue  height,  there  is  always  danger  of  springing  it  by  the  power 
exerted.  Another  defect  lies  in  the  application  of  the  power  directly  underneath  the  cap,  making  it  very  inconvenient 
to  work  in  most  cases.  The  most  serious  defect  of  all,  however,  is  that  when  there  is  a  great  force  exerted  the  cap  turns 
with  the  screw,  by  the  friction  produced,  and  is  twisted  from  under  the  weight. 

These  difficulties  have  been  overcome,  and  the  screw  jack  made  as  complete  for  all  lifting  purposes  as  the  hydraulic 
jack,  and  at  a  less  cost,  in  the  improved  form  illustrated.  The  following  description  and  illustration  will  make  its 
construction  plain  : 

A  is  a  pedestal,  made  hollow  for  the  reception  of  the  power  screw  C,  and  flaring  at  the  low  end  to  form  the  base  or 
support.  In  the  upper  end  of  the  pedestal  is  a  circular  groove  a,  and  another  groove  c,  is  turned  in  the  side  of  the 
pedestal  a  short  distance  below  the  upper  end.  The  hooded  nut  B  extends  over  the  sides  and  is  held  in  place  by  set 
screws,  which  revolve  in  the  groove  c,  so  that  the  nut  B  cannot  be  accidentally  detached  if  the  jack  is  upset.  A  series  of 
balls  is  interposed  between  the  upper  surface  of  the  pedestal  and  the  bearing  surface  of  the  nut  J3,  and  the  power  screw  c 
passes  through  the  nut  B,  by  which  it  is  worked. 

The  upper  end  of  the  screw  c  is  furnished  with  a  removable  head  or  rest,  f,  to  give  a  wide  bearing  at  its  point  of 
contact  with  the  weight  to  be  raised.  The  power  nut  B  is  provided  with  openings  for  receiving  the  operating  lever,  or  a 
ratchet  attachment  may  be  used. 

The  operation  is  readily  understood,  the  jack  being  placed  under  the  weight  and  the  power  nut  turned  by  means  of 
a  lever,  or  ratchet,  causing  the  screw  to  be  fed  upward,  and  the  weight  lifted.  The  power  nut  remains  stationary,  so  far 
as  a  vertical  movement  is  concerned,  and  rotates  upon  the  anti-friction  rolls  or  balls.

PLEASE  SEE  WHAT  THOSE  WHO   ARE   USING  THE    ROBIE    PATENT   SCREW  JACKS  SAY  ABOUT  THEM. 

EXTRACTS    FROM    LETTERS    APKD    REPORTS. 

New   York  Navy    Yard,  December  29,  1886. 

In  obedience  to  the  order  of  Commander  H.  B.  Robeson,  U.  S.  N.,  we  have  carefully  tested  the  Patent  Screw  Jack  of  Henry  W.  Robie,  and 
respectfully  report :  — 

The  advantages  of  this  jack  over  the  ordinary  screw  jack  are  ; 

First. — In  overcoming  the  sliding  friction  of  the  screw  underneath  the  cap  by  means  of  the  balls,  thereby  adding  greatly  to  the  power. 
This  friction  amounts  to  33  per  cent,  of  the  power  exerted. 

Second. — The  movement  of  the  screw  is  vertical,  as  in  a  hydraulic  jack,  and  not  revolving. 

Third. — The  distance  from  the  base  to  power  exerted  remains  the  same  at  all  times,  requiring  less  space  for  operating. 

Fottrth. — The  power,  when  exerted  on  the  nut  by  means  of  the  ratchet,  can  be  used  to  the  greatest  advantage  in  confined  spaces,  and  in 
positions  where  an  ordinary  screw  jack  could  not  be  used. 

We  have  been  unable  to  discover  any  disadvantages  in  the  operation  of  this  jack,  and,  therefore,  recommend  it  for  purchase  and  uset  as 
required  by  the  Act  approved  July  i8th,  1861.  We  are,  sir,  very  respectfully,  Your  obedient  servants,

The  ROBIE  PATENTED  SCREW  JACK 

is  awarded  the  Edward  Longstreth  Medal  of  Merit  by  the  Committee  on  Science 
and  the  Arts  of  the  Franklin  Institute,  of  the  State  of  Pennsylvania. 


(Below  is  a  Copy  of  the  Report.) 

Report  No.  1384.  HALL  OF  THE  FRANKLIN  INSTITUTE, 

PHILADELPHIA,  January  4,  1891. 

The  Sub-Committee  of  the  Committee  on  Science  and  the  Arts,  constituted  by  the  Franklin  Institute,  of  the  btate  of  Pennsylvania,  to  whom 
was  referred  for  examination  the  Robie  Screw  Jack,  report  that  the  subject  of  this  investigation  is  an  improved  screw  jack  patented  to  Henry  W. 
Robie,  September  2ist,  1886,  and  the  specimens  submitted  to  your  Committee  are  of  the  manufacture  of  Messrs.  Riehle  Brothers,  of  Philadelphia. 

In  size  and  appearance  the  tool  resembles  the  well-known  form  of  screw  jack,  but  in  details  of  construction  it  differs  very  widely,  and  it  is 
very  much  improved. 

The  base  or  pedestal  is  a  hollow  casting  expanded  at  the  bottom  to  form  a  wide  foot,  either  round  or  square,  as  may  be  preferred. 

On  the  top  of  the  pedestal  is  mounted  a  revolving  nut,  through  which  the  screw  passes,  extending  down  within  the  pedestal  to  the  bottom. 

The  lower  part  of  the  nut  extends  some  distance  downward  upon  the  outside  of  the  pedestal,  fitting  it  closely.  A  groove  is  cut  around  the 
pedestal  near  its  top,  which  is  covered  by  the  projecting  sleeve  of  the  nut,  and  a  set-screw  tapped  into  this  sleeve  and  entering  the  groove  serves  to 
secure  the  nut  to  the  pedestal  against  accidental  separation. 

Between  the  base  of  the  nut  and  the  top  of  the  pedestal  are  placed  two  concave  rings  of  hardened  steel,  and  between  these  rings,  filling  up 
the  entire  circle,  upon  steel  balls  upon  which  the  nut,  as  it  revolves,  rolls,  thus  making  nearly  as  possible  a  frictionless  bearing.  As  the  screw  does 
not  turn,  but  is  raised  and  lowered  by  turning  the  nut,  the  cap  of  the  screw  does  not  revdve,  but  is  firmly  fastened  to  the  screw;  this  arrangement 
entirely  obviates  the  danger,  so  common  in  the  use  of  ordinary  jacks,  of  a  liability  to  twist  the  cap  from  under  the  load. 

The  nut  is  provided  with  a  ratchet  lever  to  turn  it  in  either  direction,  and  as  it  only  revolves,  and  does  not  rise  with  the  screw,  the  hand  lever 
is  always  operated  to  the  best  advantage. 

The  three  sizes  of  the  Robie  Screw  Jack  submitted  to  your  Committee  by  the  manufacturers,  viz. :  the  lo-ton,  2O-ton,  and  3O-ton  Jacks,  are 
practical  tools  for  what  they  are  represented. 

Your  Committee  has  practically  tested  these  under  a  testing  machine,  and  demonstrated  that  one  is  able  to  raise  double  the  weight  by  them 
that  he  could  with  a  screw  jack  of  the  usual  type,  the  pitch  of  the  screw  and  length  of  hand  lever  being  alike  in  both  tools. 

Aside  from  the  many  advantages  possessed  by  the  Robie  Patent  Screw  Jack  due  to  its  form  of  construction,  which  may  make  it  a  very 
superior  tool,  those  examined  by  your  Committee,  taken  from  the  regular  market  stock,  are  entitled  to  high  commendation  in  point  of  good 
proportions,  excellent  workmanship,  and  in  the  use  of  the  very  best  materials,  thus  insuring  the  reliability  and  durability  of  the  highest  degree. 

Your  Committee  cheerfully  accord  to  the  inventor  ol  the  Robie  Jack  Screw  its  deserved  appreciation,  and  recommend,  therefore,  the  award 
of  the  Longstreth  Medal  of  Merit.  Respectfully  submitted,

DESCRIPTION  AND  OPERATION. 

This  Jack  is  probably  the  handiest,  lighest,  and  most  compact  ever  made  for  railroad  or  machine  shop  use.  It 
impresses  every  one  at  first  sight  as  being  just  what  is  wanted,  especially  for  track  work.  It  weighs  only  thirty  pounds ; 
is  a  direct,  quick  lifting,  and  instantaneous  releasing  Jack,  and  the  release  can  be  checked  at  any  point.  It  is  operated 
by  a  common  crow-bar,  and  for  all  ordinary  loads  has  been  found  to  more  than  meet  requirements. 

The  height  of  Jack  from  top  of  foot  lift  is  less  than  4^  inches,  so  that  it  never  projects  above  the  rail,  thus  avoiding 
any  risk  of  derailing  if  left  under  track.  The  Jack  remains  at  the  required  lift  by  the  friction  of  rollers  in  a  taper  pocket, 
and  is  lowered  by  backing  the  rollers  by  means  of  a  trip  lever.  The  rapidity  of  lowering  can  be  controlled  by  the  same 
bar  as  used  in  raising,  or  it  can  be  dropped  by  a  blow  of  the  bar  on  the  trip. 

An  ordinary  i-inch  steel  track  bar  with  i^-inch  nose  can  be  used  to  operate  this  Jack. 

REPORT  OF  TESTS. 

November  8th,  1892. 
The  Robert  W.  Hunt  &-"  Co.  Bureau  of  Inspection,  Tests  and  Consultation,  Chicago,  III, 

We  would  report  on  the  test  of  Richie-Anderson  Safety  Track  Jack  submitted  to  us  : 

One  man,  weighing  150  Ibs.  could  lift 6,800  Ibs. 

"        "  "          160   "        "        " 7,100    " 

"        "  "         170  "        "        " 7,690    " 

Two  men  "        " 10,650    " 

Three  men  "        " I3-500    " 

A  4^  foot  lever  was  used. 

The  Jack  was  tripped  easily  under  load  of  2,400  Ibs.     The  Jack  supported  without  slipping  by  load  of  2,800  Ibs.,  and  slipped  slightly  under  a 
heavier  load.

RIEHLE-ROBIE  PATENT  SCREW  JACK. 

SOMETHING  NEW  IN    LIFTING  JACKS. 


Plate  No.  161. 


Plate  No.  152. 


DESCRIPTION. 

The  ordinary  form  of  screw  jack  has  several  serious  defects  in  operating  which  arc  welt  known  to  every  engineer  and 
mechanic.  One  is  that  when  the  screw  is  raised  to  an  undue  height,  there  is  always  danger  of  springing  it  by  the  power 
exerted.  Another  defect  lies  in  the  application  of  the  power  directly  underneath  the  cap,  making  it  very  inconvenient 
to  work  in  most  cases.  The  most  serious  defect  of  all,  however,  is  that  when  there  is  a  great  force  exerted  the  cap  turns 
with  the  screw,  by  the  friction  produced,  and  is  twisted  from  under  the  weight. 

These  difficulties  have  been  overcome,  and  the  screw  jack  made  as  complete  for  all  lifting  purposes  as  the  hydraulic 
jack,  and  at  a  less  cost,  in  the  improved  form  illustrated.  The  following  description  and  illustration  will  make  its 
construction  plain : 

A  is  a  pedestal,  made  hollo-.'  for  the  reception  of  the  power  screw  C,  and  flaring  at  the  low  end  to  form  the  base  or 

pedestal  a  short  distance  below  the  upper  end.  The  hooded  nut  B  extends  over  the  sides  and  is  held  in  place  by  set 
screws,  which  revolve  in  the  groove  t,  so  that  ihe  nut  B  cannot  be  accidentally  detached  if  ihe  jack  is  upset.  A  series  of 
balls  is  interposed  between  the  upper  surface  of  the  pedestal  and  the  bearing  surface  of  the  nut  B,  and  the  power  screw  t 
passes  through  the  nut  B,  by  which  it  is  worked. 

The  upper  end  of  the  screw  <•  is  furnished  with  a  removable  head  or  rest,  /,  to  give  a  wide  bearing  at  its  point  of 
contact  with  the  weight  to  be  raised.  The  power  nut  B  is  provided  with  openings  for  receiving  the  operating  lever,  or  a 
ratchet  attachment  may  be  used. 

The  operation  is  readily  understood,  the  jack  being  placed  under  the  weight  and  the  power  nut  turned  by  means  of 
•  lever,  or  ratchet,  causing  the  screw  to  be  fed  upward,  and  the  weight  lifted.  The  power  nut  remains  stationary,  so  far

DESCRIPTION. 

The  ordinary  form  of  screw  jack  has  several  serious  defects  in  operating  which  are  well  known  to  every  engineer  and 
mechanic.  One  is  that  when  the  screw  is  raised  to  an  undue  height,  there  is  always  danger  of  springing  it  by  the  power 
exerted.  Another  defect  lies  in  the  application  of  the  power  directly  underneath  the  cap,  making  it  very  inconvenient 
to  work  in  most  cases.  The  most  serious  defect  of  all,  however,  is  that  when  there  is  a  great  force  exerted  the  cap  turns 
with  the  screw,  by  the  friction  produced,  and  is  twisted  from  under  the  weight. 

These  difficulties  have  been  overcome,  and  the  screw  jack  made  as  complete  for  all  lifting  purposes  as  the  hydraulic 
jack,  and  at  a  less  cost,  in  the  improved  form  illustrated.  The  following  description  and  illustration  will  make  its 
construction  plain  : 

A  is  a  pedestal,  made  hollow  for  the  reception  of  the  power  screw  C,  and  flaring  at  the  low  end  to  form  the  base  or 
support.  In  the  upper  end  of  the  pedestal  is  a  circular  groove  a,  and  another  groove  c,  is  turned  in  the  side  of  the 
pedestal  a  short  distance  below  the  upper  end.  The  hooded  nut  13  extends  over  the  sides  and  is  held  in  place  by  set 
screws,  which  revolve  in  the  groove  c,  so  that  the  nut  £  cannot  be  accidentally  detached  if  the  jack  is  upset.  A  series  of 
balls  is  interposed  between  the  upper  surface  of  the  pedestal  and  the  bearing  surface  of  the  nut  B,  and  the  power  screw  c 
passes  through  the  nut  B,  by  which  it  is  worked. 

The  upper  end  of  the  screw  c  is  furnished  with  a  removable  head  or  rest,  /,  to  give  a  wide  bearing  at  its  point  of 
contact  with  the  weight  to  be  raised.  The  power  nut  B  is  provided  with  openings  for  receiving  the  operating  lever,  or  a 
ratchet  attachment  may  be  used. 

The  operation  is  readily  understood,  the  jack  being  placed  under  the  weight  and  the  power  nut  turned  by  means  of 
a  lever,  or  ratchet,  causing  the  screw  to  be  fed  upward,  and  the  weight  lifted.  The  power  nut  remains  stationary,  so  far 
as  a  vertical  movement  is  concerned,  and  rotates  upon  the  anti- friction  rolls  or  balls.

Illustrations  of  Standard  Sizes  of  Riehle-Robie  Bail-Bearing  Screw  Jacks. 

Some  makers  of  Jacks  introduce  a  few  under  certain  names,  and  after  the  name  is  known  offer  articles  under  the  same  name  made  in 
an  inferior  manner,  and  at  a  lower  price.  BEAR  THIS  IN  MIND.  "  RIEHLE-ROBIE  JACK  "  means  a  Jack  with  Frictionless  Ball  Bearings.  Don't 
forget  to  ask  the  question  when  a  Jack  is  offered  for  sale,  "Has  the  Jack  <  FRICTIONLESS  BALL  BEARINGS?'"  All  other  Jacks  are  "Aw  AY 
BEHIND  THE  TIMES." 

The  RIEHLE-ROBIE  JACKS  are  selling  freely,  and  the  list  of  users  daily  increasing.  It  is  the  only  Jack  adopted  by  the  UNITED  STATES 
GOVERNMENT  also  indorsed  by  the  COMMITTEE  ON  SCIENCE  AND  ART  OF  THE  FRANKLIN  INSTITUTE  OF  THE  STATE  OF  PENNSYLVANIA.

PLEASE  SEE  WHAT  THOSE  WHO   ARE   USING  THE    ROBIE    PATENT  SCREW  JACKS  SAY  ABOUT  THEM. 

EXTRACTS    FROM    LETTERS    AZ«D    REPORTS. 

New   York  Navy   Yard,  December  29,  1886. 

In  obedience  to  the  order  of  Commander  H.  B.  Robeson,  U.  S.  N.,  we  have  carefully  tested  the  Patent  Screw  Jack  of  Henry  W.  Robie,  and 
respectfully  report : — 

The  advantages  of  this  jack  over  the  ordinary  screw  jack  are  : 

First. — In  overcoming  the  sliding  friction  of  the  screw  underneath  the  cap  by  means  of  the  baHs,  thereby  adding  greatly  to  the  power. 
This  friction  amounts  to  33  per  cent,  of  the  power  exerted. 

Second. — The  movement  of  the  screw  is  vertical,  as  in  a  hydraulic  jack,  and  not  revolving. 

Third. — The  distance  from  the  base  to  power  exerted  remains  the  same  at  all  times,  requiring  less  space  for  operating. 

Fourth. — The  power,  when  exerted  on  the  nut  by  means  of  the  ratchet,  can  be  used  to  the  greatest  advantage  in  confined  spaces,  and  in 
positions  where  an  ordinary  screw  jack  could  not  be  used. 

We  have  been  unable  to  discover  any  disadvantages  in  the  operation  of  this  jack,  and,  therefore,  recommend  it  for  purchase  and  uset  as 
required  by  the  Act  approved  July  iSth,  1861.  We  are,  sir,  very  respectfully,  Your  obedient  servants, 

JNO.  W.  MOORE,  Chf.  Eng.,  U.  S.  N. 
GEO.  H.  KEARNEY,  P.  A.  Eng.,  U.  S.  N. 
To  COMMODORE  BANCROFT  GHIRARDI,  U.  S.  N.,  COMMANDANT.  M.  A.  ANDERSON,  Cadet  Eng.,  U.  S.  N. 

.  MONT  ALTO,  PA.     MONT  ALTO  RAILROAD  Co. — 'Wt  prefer  it  to  any  screw  jack  we  have  ever  used. — G.  B.  WIESTLING,  Supt. 
NICETOWN,  PHILADELPHIA.     MIDVALE  STEEL  Co. — We  are  using  the  Robie  Jack  we  bought  of  you. — CHAS.  S.  HARRAH,  Presf. 

HOKENDAUQUA,  PA.     THOMAS  IRON  Co. — We  find  the  Robie  Patent  Screw  Jacks  labor-saving  and  satisfactory  in  every  respect. 

JOHN  THOMAS,  Supt. 

ST.  Louis,  Mo.  STIFEL'S  BREWING  Co. — I  consider  the  Robie  Patent  Screw  Jack  the  best  screw  jack  that  has  ever  come  under  our 
observation. — JOHN  ASHTON,  Supt. 

NAVY  DEPARTMENT,  BUREAU  OF  EQUIPMENT,  WASHINGTON,  D.  C.,  JANUARY  28,  1891. — The  Bureau  informs  you  that  a  report  has  been 
received  from  the  Commandant  of  the  Boston  Navy  Yard,  stating  that  the  Robie  Patent  Screw  Jack,  submitted  by  you  for  trial,  has  been  put  to  a 
severe  and  thorough  test,  and  has  been  found  to  be  an  excellent  implement. — GEO.  DEWEY,  Chief  of  Bureau.

THE  Improved  Soap  Frame,  as  illustrated  on  page 
is    made    in  a    good,   strong,   substantial 
manner,  and  guaranteed  to  do  the  work  required 
of  it  in  a  satisfactory  manner. 

The  sides  consist  of  sheet  iron,  heavily  braced  with 
angle  irons  so  that  there  can  be  no  bulging  nor  buck- 
ling of  the  sides.  The  ends  are  attached  to  the  bottom 
in  sucli  manner  as  to  be  easily  detached.  The  whole 
is  firmly  bound  together  by  hinged  rods  provided  with 
fly  nuts.  The  Frames  can  be  set  up  or  knocked  down 
in  a  few  moments.  Two  bottoms  are  supplied  with 
each  set  of  sides  and  ends,  so  that  the  soap  can  re- 
main on  one  bottom  for  cutting  while  the  other  bottom 
and  frame  are  ready  to  receive  a  fresh  charge  of  soap. 

Many  soap  makers  prefer  the  Frames  without  wheels, 
handling  the  frame-i  on  specially  constructed  trucks. 
We  can,  however,  furnish  them  with  wheels  if  de- 
sired.

<  'lark's  Patent  Rubber  Wheels, 
ffl 


These  Wheels  are  unrivalled  for  DURABILITY,  SIM- 
PLICITY and  CHEAPNESS.  They  are  perfectly  noiseless,  and 
do  not  wear  the  floors  perceptibly;  can  be  used  on  wood, 
brick  and  concrete  floors  with  great  saving.  They  are  par- 
ticularly adapted  for  all  kinds  of  mill  and  warehouse  work, 
and  are  greatly  appreciated  in  Hotels,  BanKs  and  Hospitals, 
where  noise  is  troublesome. 

They  are  composed  of  two  compressing  metallic  disks, 
which  are  provided  with  a  section  of  hub,  peripherical  flange, 
and  an  annular  rim  of  vulcanized  rubber,  which  is  mounted 
on  the  shoulders  of  the  disk  and  firmly  compressed  between 
their  flanges  by  means  of  screws,  making  it  easy  to  replace 
worn-out  rubbers,  and  yet  rendering  it  utterly  impossible 
for  the  rubbers  to  slip  off,  as  was  the  case  with  the  old  meth- 
ods, which  wereas  follows :— One  way  consisted  of  springing 
a  ring  of  rubber  on  to  a  grooved  wheel ;  but  a  movement  of 
the  wheel  sideways  would  spring  the  rubber  off  as  easily  as 
it  was  put  on.  The  other  method  consisted  in  vulcanizing 
the  rubber  on ;  but  on  being  used,  the  rubber  would  become 
loose  from  the  wheel.  CLAKK'S  PATENT  RUBBER  WHEEL 
overcomes  these  difficulties,  it  being  so  simple  that  any  per- 
son, with  little  trouble,  can  replace  worn-out  rubbers,  mak- 
ing the  wheels  as  good  as  new.

Extra  Heavy  Rubber  Wheels. 
Strong  Castings,  Thick  Rubbers,  Durable 

THESE  goods  are  not  intended  to  supersede  the 
common-weight  goods,  but  are  for  special 
places,  where  the  quantity  of  stock  moved  is  very 
heavy,  and  where  the  floors  are  extremely  rough  and 
uneven. 

They  can  be  used  upon  two-wheeled  hand  trucks, 
heavy  platform  trucks,  box  trucks,  and  dry  goods 
trucks  when  run  upon  elevators  or  sidewalks. 

They  also  possess  all  the  advantages  over  other 
parties'  rubber  wheels  which  are  claimed  for  our 
common-weight  goods,  which  we  also  keep  constantly 
in  stock.

This  style  car,  which  dumps  its  load  on  either  side  of  track,  we 
make  three  sizes  of,  but  if  necessary,  others  can  be  made  to  order.  These 
cars  we  make  very  strong  in  all  their  parts,  thus  admitting  of  their 
being  handled  roughly  without  danger  of  breaking  or  getting  out  of 
order.

The  above  engraving  represents  our  ore  tub,  which  is  generally 
adapted  for  mines.  They  are  made  in  the  best  possible  manner  of  3-16 
inch  steel,  are  well  riveted,  have  strong  bands  around  the  top,  and  are 
reliable  and  substantial.  The  bail  and  catch  on  these  tubs  are  strong 
and  simple. 

THE  CHAMPION  FLOUR  SCOOP. 


Fig.  1022. 


Is  made  of  SHEET  STEEL  or  XXXX  tin  plate,  with  handle  of 
wrought  iron.  The  handle  being  placed  in  the  centre  instead  of  at  the 
end,  as  in  the  old  style  scoop,  distributes  the  weight  evenly,  thus  mak- 
ing the  handling  of  material  easier  and  quicker.  This  style  of  scoop, 
made  as  above,  will  outlast  several  of  the  old  patterns.

HERCULES  STEEL  SCOOP. 


Fig.  1023. 

This  is  named  the  Hercules  because  it  is  the  strongest  scoop  in 
the  market.  It  is  made  of  fine  planished  sheet  steel,  well  put  together, 
and  will  outwear  several  of  the  ordinary  iron  scoops.  At  the  same 
time  it  is  much  lighter  in  weight.  One  man  can  do  double  the  work 
with  this  that  can  be  done  with  the  common  long-handled  scoop.  He 
can  get  right  down  to  his  work  and  take  up  twice  the  amount,  with  i 
large  saving  of  labor,  because  he  has  the  scoop  close  to  him  instead  of 
at  arm's  length,  and  the  front  handle  over  the  load.

BALING  PRESSES. 


Fig.  IO49. 

The  press  is  for  baling  cotton  cloth,  yarn,  paper,  etc.  It  is  oper- 
ated by  an  automatic  attachment,  and  has  the  pressure  indicator,  show- 
ing the  amount  of  pressure  put  upon  the  goods.  For  extra  quick  work 
we  put  a  pulley  on  the  screw  instead  of  the  chain  wheel,  and  operate 
it  with  a  belt.  As  the  frame  is  of  wood,  we  can  vary  the  dimensions 
given  to  suit  the  work  required.  We  can  also  give  anyamouhtof  day- 
light, or  movement  of  follower  required.  Owing  to  the  varying  needs 
of  different  goods,  prices  will  be  quoted  on  application. 


TINCTURE  PRESS. 


This  press  is  for  the  use  of  manufacturing  chemists  and  druggists, 
in  extracting  the  liquor  from  macerated  roots  and  herbs.  It  is  very 
heavy  and  powerful,  the  hoop  being  of  wrought-iron  staves  and  bands, 
and  made  very  strong  to  withstand  the  immense  pressure  exerted.  It  is 
hinged  to  a  rigid  back,  which  is  fastened  to  the  base,  allowing  each  side 
of  the  hoop  to  be  opened  and  swung  out  to  remove  the  pressed  material. 
The  plunger  is  attached  to  the  platen  by  a  large  screw  thread,  allowing 
k  to  be  run  up  or  down  to  adjust  the  distance  it  enters  the  hoop. 
The  indicator  enables  the  operator  to  determine  when  the  material  is 
sufficiently  pressed,  and  to  avoid  overstraining  the  press.  It  may  be 
worked  by  hand  or  power,  and  the  hoop  will  be  made  of  a  size  suitable 
for  the  work  desired.  Prices  according  to  size  of  hoop  and  nature  of 
material  to  be  pressed.

SURFACE  GRADER. 


Fig.  1069. 


This  is  intended  for  one  horse  only,  and  is  used  for  removing  the 
plowed  ground  from  the  sides  of  the  road  to  the  road-bed  immediately 
opposite.  It  is  worked  by  either  backing  the  horse  up  to  the  place  of 
filling  or  by  crossing  over  from  side  to  side,  the  driver  retaining  his 
load  until  the  proper  place  is  reached,  or  gradually  losing  it  from  be- 
neath, as  he  may  wish. 

It  is  also  of  great  service  in  grading  and  leveling  off  after  the 
Scraper,  leaving  the  road-bed  level  or  rounded  up,  as  desired.  The 
beam  is  made  of  oak  wood,  and  two  substantial  wrought-iron  standards, 
as  shown  in  cut  above.  The  blade  is  of  steel.  It  is  light,  but  strong 
and  durable.

For  smoothing  rough  roads  of  any  kind,  dirt  or  gravel.  Unsur-

frost  is  first  out  of  the  ground,  and  before  the  regular  road  work  is 
done.  By  merely  driving  once  or  twice  over  the  roughest  roads  the 
ridges  are  cut  down,  the  ruts  filled  up,  and  the  road-bed  put  in  tempo- 
rary good  order.  It  will  pay  for  its  cost  in  one  day's  use.

Figr.  1073. 


We  desire  to  call  your  attention  to  our  Improved  Garden  Roller, 
illustrated  above.  Its  advantages  will  strike  you  at  once,  and  consists 
in  rounding  the  outer  edges  of  the  Section  to  prevent  dirt  being  thrown 
up  in  turning  the  roller  round  at  the  ends  or  corners  of  the  plot  to  be 
rolled.  In  operating  the  old  style  it  is  necessary  to  keep  the  Roller 
rolling  in  a  straight  line,  or  the  square  outer  corners  will  dig  into  the 
soil  and  throw  up  dirt  sufficient  to  seriously  interfere  with  the  work 
already  accomplished. 

The  wood  handles  are  made  from  seasoned  oak,  and  are  prefer- 
able to  iron  in  every  respect.  Upon  the  shafts  are  hung  weights  to 
keep  the  handles  erect  and  give  greater  weight  to  the  rollers.

COTTON  SCREWS. 


For  No.  2  Jacks  prefix  R  to  the  corresponding  telegraph  name^viz. : 
R  Unquiet. 

These  Jacks  consist  of  two  wrought-iron  screws,  one  working 
within  the  other,  operating  simultaneously.  By  this  method  of  con- 
struction the  screws  can  be  run  out  nearly  double  the  height  of  the  base, 
and  will  raise  a  load  in  one-half  the  time  required  by  the  ordinary  Jack 
without  increasing  the  labor. 

They  have  been  in  use  for  several  years,  are  highly  approved  of  by 
the  principal  railroad  companies  throughout  the  country,  and  are 
acknowledged  by  all  to  be  the  best  Jacks  now  made.  They  are  the 
shortest  and  also  the  longest  Jacks  in  use,  and  w  eigh  less  than  any 
others  of  corresponding  capacity. 

Number  2  represents  the  "  TELESCOPIC  JACK,"  with  a  ratchet  lever. 
This  improvement  makes  it  the  most  desirable  Jack  in  use,  being  much 
cheaper  than  any  made  with  the  same  length  of  screw.

lower,  when  allowed  to  return  through  the  lower  valve  and  back  passages  operated  by  the  same  lever.  These  Jacks  are  light,  portable  and  easy  of 
application,  worked  by  one  man  who  can  lift  lo  tons,  I  foot  in  i  y2  minutes  or  20  tons  in  3  minutes  and  so  on  proportionately,
